Maurice even said, “I think it’s too much for me right now. But I remember doing it and thinking – and I told people this – that it was the best work I’ve ever done. It was the best work because it was so easy. Even though it was hard, and those emotions were difficult, it was so easy, going into it was easy, because with beautiful writing, boom, it’s easy. He’s brilliant, so we just kind of did it.”
Maurice also added that before filming their scenes, he and Max Gail do go over the different possibilities of how they can better bring out their emotions in front of the cameras. He added, “Well, we have a kind of thing, like he’ll say to me, ‘What about trying this?’ or ‘Why don’t you do that, because I think maybe it will be good, what do you think?’ ‘Yeah, yeah.’
Or I’ll say to him, ‘Max, I think maybe you should do this.’ That’s all we do, not anything more than that. We don’t talk too much. He’s so real in what he’s doing that it just kills me, breaks my heart.”
