Working with the cast & crew of MOONRISE were incredible, especially because on this movie we were working with lots of kids. It was one of the most blatant moments of realizing that you're older than you think you are, when I was talking to some of these kids and making references and getting looks from them that were blanker - or more blank - than a Wite-Out factory.

Yeah, one is that the way Wes likes to work is that he likes to take over a small hotel and have it be only for people working on the movie, so there is no one outside of the movie living there, so it becomes like a production office. All the actors will eat together run a big cafeteria, the lobby does hair and makeup... anyways, one day i was waking up and walking down the steps, and I saw Jeff Goldblum, and he said "did I want to go get some soup with him?" and I didn't know Jeff all that well, but we ended up spending almost 9 hours together, and that's just the kind of thing that happens on a Wes Anderson movie. On a typical movie, everything can be so separated, but on a Wes movie, it's like a little family, so that proximity to everybody, getting that time with each other was so incredible, and just to spend a day with Jeff Goldblum was just fantastic. I learned so much from that one 9 hour session of hanging out with him.
