Did you have any qualms about your age?

I of course had some vanity qualms about it, and I worried about people being cruel – which, of course, they have already been. But for me, the idea of telling this particular story to young people on a scale like this… The power of that, and knowing if I didn’t get past my own fears then maybe this wouldn’t ever be made, that was more than

enough for me to jump on board.
