THIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT YOU KNOW, UNIVERSAL, AND THE DIRECTOR AND THE WRITERS,
EVERYBODY WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON GETTING THIS STORY DONE. 'CAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT FOR RIGHT NOW IT'S ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE'S UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCE
OF ISOLATION AND LONELINESS AND THE NEED FOR HUMAN CONNECTION. AND I FEEL LIKE, UNFORTUNATELY

CUT AFTER A SCENE, AND THEN THEY HAD TO STOP, BECAUSE ALL THE CREW WERE CRYING
PEOPLE HAD TO, LIKE, THE BOOM GUY HAD TO, LIKE, WIPE HIS TEARS.
[ AUDIENCE AWS ] [ LAUGHTER ] IT WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT,
EVERYONE, REGROUP. WE GOT TO DO ANOTHER TAKE. >> YEAH, IT WAS -- IT WAS
A VERY EMOTIONAL SETTING I MEAN, THIS IS MY DIRECTOR, STEPHEN CHBOSKY'S STORY,
REALLY BUT I'LL STEAL IT. WHICH IS THAT, ON THE SECOND
DAY, I WAS DOING ONE OF THE SONGS. IT'S CALLED, "WORDS FAIL."
IT'S, KIND OF, ONE OF THE DARKER, KIND OF, MORE DIFFICULT, EMOTIONAL SONGS
AND ON THE FIRST TAKE, I PERFORMED IT AND IT WAS VERY EARLY ON IN THE
SHOOT, SO A LOT OF THE CREW IN ATLANTA DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE IN FOR.
SO I -- I SANG THE SONG, AND THEN THERE WAS A LOT OF SILENCE AFTER THE CUT.
AND NO ONE REALLY SAID ANYTHING AND THEN, AN UNIDENTIFIED CREW
MEMBER WHO WE LOVE, BUT DON'T KNOW WHO IT WAS, CAME OVER THERE WALKING AND JUST WENT,
"WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE A A GOOD MOVIE." [ LAUGHTER ]
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: THAT'S IT. THAT'S WHAT YOU NEED
