The worst part about all of it-as a guy who gets a lot of shit from critics-is like, one time I was in a room with a person who kept going on and on about how much he loved the movie and he's just going nuts and looking me in the eye.

They say things like that. Like, "I'm so psyched that I get to hang out with you. You're cool, you're charming, you're funny as shit." And then we get to the process, you know.
