What they’re saying

“I mean, it's far along in that I have a lot of the material and Amy has a lot of the material, and then she went to direct a movie in London, and I went and did this. So it may take a minute, but I think once we really get in the groove of hanging out together and telling our stories, it's going to flow.”
