I mean, first of all, if Ryan asked me 
to do anything, I would do it in a heartbeat. 
It does not matter what it is. 
But this one was just you I couldn't have even dreamt this up because Brett 
Easten Ellis is one of my favorite writers. 
I grew up in LA. 
I think that his view of LA in so many ways shaped my own personal view of LA and my taste. 
And I read The Shards immediately when it came out. 
I was so excited. 
He had written a novel and autofiction and I was so fascinated by it. 
And um I had the opportunity to meet him long before you know we were making this show and uh 
and so it was just genuinely a dream but 
I think it was just like perfect for me 
and I don't believe every book should be adapted but reading the shards for the 
first time it was so visceral um and so 
clear I could see it so clearly and I'm so glad that Ryan could too.
