There's a lot of complicated magical reasons why I'm not at the party that are too long and semantic to go into.

What's exciting to me now is the idea in participating in a landscape of moviemaking that's completely different - the way you can make a movie with a 5D or something and what's going to come out of that. Especially the generation under us who grew up with the internet. When they are making films in the next ten years, they're gonna be so different from what we've seen before because their whole worldview is so different.

It feels like you're being invited into a kind of community [working with the Coen brothers].

I remember pretending to be the characters in the movies when I was a little kid.

I did my first film with Francis Ford Copploa which spoiled the hell out of me.

That's a lot more legitimate than the retail therapy I do.

Each film and each character is a completely new set of challenges. It doesn't feel like you can rest on something you may have done well in the past.
