'Girls' is a huge show, as far as buzz, and magazine covers, and getting a ton of copy, and awards. And yet I don't think the viewership is huge.

Ever since the movie premiered at Cannes, I've had a sudden surge of scripts and interest.
Since the day I finished shooting there's been at least one person come up to me every single day and then after the trailer came out, at least four. It's absolutely bizarre to me. This was before there was any systematic promotion of the movie. It's just completely nuts.
I'm very grateful to Jennifer Lopez, because I have something to talk about for the last couple of years.
