There's a reason why actors are always dying to work with the Coens. They just set the stage for you to do their best work.

There's very few people - like Shakespeare - who, no matter what, were gonna do what they did. For the rest of us, there's a lot of events that have to happen in order for things to end up the way they are.

I've listened to Dylan my entire life. My dad was a huge Bob Dylan fan, so we listened to his music, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, and all that kind of stuff. It opened up a whole world of this music that I'm now obsessed with.

I think that's why often people in creative fields can feel so alone is because there's a constant third eye, that constant watcher.

With Shakespeare, there's no subtext; you're speaking exactly what you're thinking constantly.

Coen brothers movies are not always what life looks like but it's definitely what life feels like.

I would always find a way to blow the deal and I'm not sure why. I think there was part of me that wasn't comfortable with monetizing the music and getting involved with royalties and all that kind of stuff.
