“I am not someone who loves a lot of chaos. I'm a very controlled person. And yet I immersed myself in the chaos of this movie in a way that I was really not expecting to.”

“After Uncut Gems with Sandler, you got to pay respect to the first, which is Punch-Drunk Love. The way the camera moves is unreal—it's so deliberate, but at the same time it's still trying to catch up to people. The two things are working together to make you feel something as an audience.”
