Quote from Jay in Mother!
Manny: [aside to camera] For my film class, I wrote and directed a short. I felt the horror genre was the best way to grapple with the struggles of our time. Jay: When Manny first came to me with the project- Manny: You read a script I left out and you elbowed your way in. Jay: Semantics. I was gonna be the silent money. But it turns out I've got some natural storytelling talent, so I took on a more creative role. Manny: In spite of that, I got my first "A." Jay: Our first "A."
