christopher nolan and cillian murphy discuss their movie partnership for entertainment weekly
“I have always said publicly and privately, to Chris, that if I’m available and you want me to be in a movie, I’m there. I don’t really care about the size of the part... But deep down, secretly, I was desperate to play a lead for him.”
“He’s so understated and self-deprecating and, in his very English manner, just said, ‘Listen, I’ve written this script, it’s about Oppenheimer. I’d like you to be my Oppenheimer.’”

“And that first slap always provided me with a good amount of inspiration. But then, after a couple of takes, someone saw the mud and added that into the equation. And sure enough, before long I’m getting slapped and dragged by the hair, and having Daniel stuff handfuls of mud into my mouth. It’s tough in the moment, but when you look back on it, it’s actually sort of fun.”
“But I don’t consider myself somebody to be drooled over,” says Dano, groaning with embarrassment. “I’m a low-key guy, I wear glasses, and I wear scruffy clothes. That’s a weird concept to me."
paul dano for the times on there will be blood
This is a question I got from a few people on Twitter. It’s kind of funny, but it’s kind of true. What makes your face so punchable?

About that ending of 'Phantom Thread': Paul Thomas Anderson and Vicky Krieps discuss the climactic power play
It used to be that when I was too overscheduled, I would fantasize about getting hit by a car, so I could wipe all of my obligations clean.
"Exactly! Yes, you see...It’s exactly what you said; it’s some sort of bizarre wish: Won’t somebody or something come along to slow me down? It’s funny, isn’t it? What idiots are we that we need cars to hit us or some act of God to do that for us?"
