Was there anything they didn’t want to do? Would Schwimmer and Cox have done “The Routine”? That emotional rawness when they see each other in that environment was impactful because it was true to the moment. When they walked on set was one moment that I was specific with them about. I would throw a topic out there and exit and let them just take it away because the six of them discussing it with each other was what I wanted to see.

The stuff I would throw out to them, especially the documentary side of it, was more to evoke discussion.

The questions that I would ask them on camera were not vetted. I pitched the quiz, the table read and asked Lisa if she would sing with Lady Gaga. They were exec producers and involved in the larger scheme of things.
