The original settlers of Alaska apparently were Russian.

I like how time goes on set. It's almost like time on an airplane or something where people are together. It's a different, very trippy kind of time, I find, because you're together in imaginary time where you're out of time. You're called upon to be present and honor what can happen in the moment. And the whole day can go like that. The whole day can be a kind of meditation.

At the end of the movie all of us have this shared redemption.

It's nice to play a character that has a soulful, dependent, close relationship. It must mean my character is interesting in some way.

I do a lot of talking, playing with the audience, but I don't really know what that's going to be. Somebody kind of feeds me cold. He gives me these kind of cold games that I play with the audience or quizzes that I do with them.

You want to be in a movie where your part works. That's the main thing. No matter how you beat yourself working on the thing, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work.

Going back to the noir fiction of the 30s, 40s and 50s. It's very contemporary.
