Stein seems perplexed by his welcome to TIME: "Everyone here is so nice; they say hi in the cafeteria." Stein has also contributed articles on weird Websites and video-game champions for TIME DIGITAL.

...just in case you're thinking you can tell something about the man by the movies he makes, Spacey cautions against looking for clues in the weird, quirky roles he has chosen. "People presume I'm as complex as the characters I play, and I'm not. My job is to interpret what someone else has created." Indeed, during a two-hour conversation, the only moment when a glimpse of the real Spacey emerges is when he begins to bellow at questions about his penchant for playing bad guys.
