She said, “My first thought was 'Did Meryl read it yet? What did she think?' And then I heard yes, Meryl did read it and she loved it. Well, this has to be amazing. And I read it and it was beyond what I hoped for. I think over the years we've all wondered what Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel were up to, and I guarantee you, anything we thought of did not come close to what (writer) Aline Brosh McKenna has come up with for all of us. And it was a joy to make it.”
