I honesty feel that each film has its own particular challenges.

[Warren Beatty] is voraciously detail-oriented.

I feel like I would have ultimately ended up pursuing acting. It probably would have been much more difficult and taken a lot longer for me to get into it professionally.

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.

You do need these people to go out on a limb for you, thinking you're right for a role rather than having box office numbers.

I met Scarlett [Johansson] briefly, but Josh [Brolin] and George [Clooney], in particular, were so welcoming and so inclusive and really brought me into the fold from the beginning. They were just very considerate of me, and it meant a lot [shootong Hail, Caesar!].

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