I think Christina is someone that just has such a sheer amount of emotional intelligence, and she brought that and the care and wit and funniness and all of the things and all of the stories and all the conversations that we’ve had — everything, from seeing a nail polish color that I mentioned that my grandmother loved in a very casual conversation and I see her wearing it in the film.
