&#8220;I met with her but her version is that she was less involved,&#8221; Coppola said. &#8220;The kids&#8217; take was interesting to me though. When they were doing press and finally getting this celebrity status they had craved, they were a little bit delusional about why it was happening.

Alexis wouldn&#8217;t talk about the robbery: she seemed to think they were interviewing her because of her style or something. So I thought their perspective on it provided this whole other element which showed how wrapped up they were in celebrity.
