I think about art a lot only in two contexts. One is narrative... The other thing that I'm interested in, which is tangential, but not unrelated... All art to me is about problem solving.

I think the feeling that we're going to work together again usually starts to come up before the first project's even done. The Black Keys and I have already talked about starting on something new.

My experience over the years with working with people who are not actors or not trained actors is that you have to get to know them well enough to see what they have that's translatable onto the screen.

I had more fun making Traffic than either of the Ocean's films.

It's become absolutely horrible the way the people with the money decide they can fart in the kitchen.

I'm always a little unnerved when I see a show that's set in the past that implies in any way that things were nicer then.

The key is, if youre not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well.
