Did anyone try to stop them from working together?
Fallon asked whether friends or advisors discouraged Stewart from collaborating with her partner. Stewart said no one successfully talked them out of it.
She described herself as direct and demanding, which made clear her stance: if the film was happening, she wanted to be part of it. That firmness helped move the project forward.
The decision to work together was mutual, creative and practical.
