"It seems to me that Sofia Coppola is incapable of producing an ugly frame; it’s just completely beautiful, from astonishing first shot to the final whisper. I think that Scarlett Johansson can be just fabulous, and in that she’s just fabulous, plainly beautiful all the way through. She was great in Match Point too, so very good. She gives that dreadful feeling of somebody that will weigh you down forever. And on top of that it’s a genuinely funny film, its got those fantastic bits, particularly the bit where [Bill Murray] is recording the ads, and it really is a comedy. And yet Bill Murray is so melancholy; so sad. After spending all my life in comedy, where you’re aware of all the grief and melancholy that accompanies being thought of as a charming and amusing person, I think it’s an almost perfect film, I think I’d put that in my top ten favourite films of all time. I love that film."

"That's the early one. That's just a very particular - I had that on CD, I would just listen to it on the plane a lot and really zone out. It's got some really upbeat jams on there, there's a real swing, but then there's a song called 'Naima', which is named after his first wife. It's just the most beautiful, saddest... I don't think it's sad, but it is minor. I would just listen to that record on repeat, it would really put me somewhere. I remember listening to it on the way to Phoenix, before I knew we were going to be laid over, and then on the way back. Just Coltrane in general, he's just the greatest one. In fact, I should say, there's a song called 'Dear Lord' [from Transition], I burned that from a vinyl, and that is number one, the sweetest, most beautiful Coltrane song I've ever heard."
