I believe, similar to all the pieces — I did write it. It was sophisticated. It’s the traditional studio stuff, traditional studio stuff. J.J. is unimaginable, his workforce is unimaginable. I wrote, ultimately, a script that I believe is fairly demented. In a great way, I believe. Ultimately, I believe the entire universe was modified.“
