Leslye: I noticed that about you even before we got close. When I watched you promote your work, I got that feeling. I remember watching We’re The Millers and thinking, ‘he really cared about this movie.’ Some comedies I watch it’s like everyone just wanted to hang out and do some bits and weren’t really concerned with what the movie was saying or if it had a through line.

When you invited me to the [We’re The Millers] premiere, I thought, it really does have a really strong through line and it feels like people really did care about this movie even though it’s a broad comedy. It’s not a bad segway since Sleeping With Other People is broad, but it’s coming from a place of authenticity and genuineness.

Jason: I feel that anyone who gets to make something for a living, whether it’s woodworking or making movies, you’re working against being apathetic. When we’re in a scene, I’m not trying to get more laughs than you. At the end of the day, if we’re in a good scene together, then WE were in it, regardless if you get all the jokes and I’m just there being a weirdo.

Like now.

Leslye: [laughs]

Jason: Exactly right. I like the team mentality. We get to do this cool job that’s not difficult physically…

Leslye: I think it’s pretty hard.

Jason: It is hard.

Leslye: What I’m saying is it’s hard not giving into the cult of it. For me, even when we were reshooting the end of the film, they were like, ‘are you sure you don’t want to make [the ending] ambiguous?’ I was like, ‘what?’ It’s not just a reward because it’s a happy ending. You went through the ups and downs with these people in their relationship. I think that’s what love and commitment are. We stuck through bad stuff and now we’re here. [Your character] is what I want in a romantic ideal. We went through a bunch of shit and we’re here.

Jason: You kind of want what these two people have regardless of their orientation, gender or something. It’s like, “I’d love to be able to walk through the throngs of people side by side with someone that you can make a joke to.

Leslye: [To me] I’m so sorry. You literally haven’t asked a question yet.

I sort of did.

Jason: Sort of.

Leslye: Do you have a question?
