But it was more about his inability to work. … She’s finally an empty nester and now she has to take care of his feelings. That’s how I saw it. … It’s a great scene to say, you always want what you don’t have.”

“Your perception of somebody else’s life is kind of how you can understand your own life,” Mol included.
