Whenever you hear somebody else is auditioning for something, you sort of assume they're going to get it. You should try to just ignore it. I don't find it very helpful to know who else is going up for stuff, generally.

You get bummed out, and then you go, "Oh! Now I get to go buy a present for myself." That kind of helps.

When you work for the Coens, they are so fun and so organized. They treat everyone with such respect. And the character I got to play was so fun.

I'd never worked with an actor-director before [Warren Beatty].

The idea of it [Star Wars] is really exciting, but the most fun part is the actual job you get to do: the character that you get to play, the people that you work with, the day-to-day experience.

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.

By anyone's measure, [Warren Beatty] is proven himself. But he still sets out to make something as great as it possibly can be.
