I had one line. My two larger scenes had gone fine, and then on that day I screwed up that line over and over and over again. And every time I screwed it up, they can't use the whole thing because they're only using the one shot [in Blue Jasmin]. That was my last day.

My parents weren't involved in show business but my parents would show me. We'd watch old films in the house.

I got turned down for a million jobs until I got my first movie with Francis [Ford Coppola].

So many times you can't get a foot in the door unless you're already in the room.

Just getting to talk to that person [Woody Allen ] in real life was pretty wild.

An era that I specifically like is sort of late 50's, early 60's. I guess mid 50's too. I like these types of films that deal with post WWII America and this more complex leading man that kind of emerges from that.

Same with the Coen brothers and Warren [Beatty]. And then slowly you get to know each one of them as a person, and that becomes a kind of separate entity, where you just know the human being.
