How was working with Lisa Kudrow?

We spent a week (filming) in Blackpool. It was nuts. So fun. We spent a day just riding the ghost train over and over again. She ate scotch eggs. It was in the script but she was very gung ho and game. It was out-of-body surreal to be there with her.

As well as being about addiction it’s also a love story, isn’t it?

I’m a huge romantic, so it made sense for it to be a love story. I’ve definitely dated several people who have never been with girls before and it can be really romantic and painful and narratively rich. But I hope ultimately it’s just two people who have fallen in love. It transcends labels.
