The actors at that time had to learn all that stuff, it wasn't just hyperbole. What was appealing to me about being an actor at that time is that there was a home base, with job security. You were employed on a regular basis, and you had to sometimes do things you didn't want to do, but it was there. I also liked Hobie Doyle positivity.

Elia Kazan - the films he made were such a big deal for me when I was growing up.

[ Woody Allen] persona in the films are so iconic; it's like on par with Groucho Marx or something like that.

I'm trying to make myself sound better.

Warren [Beatty] was very adamant and very encouraging of me to direct. It's definitely something that I'd like to pursue more in the future.

[The Coen brothers] hire the same people over and over again, so there's a shorthand between all of the people they're working with.

It was pretty fun [auditioning on the Millennium Falcon], because I enjoyed the material a lot. Last year I read for the directors, then came to England and did a test on the Falcon, then came back and did a couple more screen tests in Los Angeles.
