"I've actually never gotten a job from an audition. It's really tough to keep the thing going... unless you're Robert De Niro or Clint Eastwood, you're not just getting jobs nonstop."
"It's not like sitting with someone and having a list of questions. This is bringing out stuff - like, no one's ever asked someone if they ever ate elephant peanuts or whatever."
"I feel like it really has brought out some good stories... hopefully they've never talked about this on any other interview in the last 20 years."
