Q: Do you think Christopher Walken should be in every movie?

Q: What inspires you?
A: Lots of people ask where I get my ideas from, and it’s really hard to say. Everything in this world is inspiring one way or another. I think it’s all about being an observer. I try to pay attention and look for the humour that’s inevitably lurking behind every situation.

Q: What are you wearing?
A: Plaid.
