Sound Bite: Tilda Swinton (FYI MIKE’s in the SHOT!)
No I don’t think so I mean I I, I mean even George Clooney I don’t think has any influence over the Coen brothers, I don’t think anybody has any influence over the Coen Brothers but the good news is he didn’t have my name crossed off the list uhm we shot this pretty much after Toronto last year I think we left with uh Michael Clayton and then we went o New York and shot this uhm by which time I’d already worked with Brad Pitt also on Benjamin Button so it was uhm very nice kind of continuation.

Sound Bite: Tilda Swinton
I think you know everybody is talking about what buffoons these people are but honestly I don’t think any of us can hold up our hands and say were not that buffony I mean really its, its about a kind of randomness that that we’re all whether we admit it or not we’re all aware of these ridiculous human errors. There’s something about the idea the systems that we live by are run by system makers and are that you know the human error doesn’t come into it and we’re all in denial if we think that’s true. There have been so many mess ups recently in high places that we you know we have to know now that you know it’s a good thing you know were humans, we should be run by humans but ? human error too.

Certainly, it’s a great uhm but we all come out feeling like were all terribly together, come out of this film like everything’s really great in your own life.

Sound Bite: Tilda Swinton
You know its so relaxed its sort of a little bit like being invited around to there house to do a school play around the kitchen table, its very straight forward. They work with a group of people most of whom they seem to have worked with for 20 years not only with actors but but in their crew and uhm there’s this very familiar very relaxed feel they know exactly what they’re doing, they’ve worked out an extraordinary script and there’s only one way to do it and everybody just comes and plays.

Sound Bite: Tilda Swinton
Well why didn’t you tell me (talks) yeah really. (talks) I didn’t go there to get an award, you know I felt really like I’d gone to see a uh a match at Wimbledon and been handed a tennis racket you know I did not go there to stand up in front of 3 billion people, believe me. Uhm so yes it was a little surprising. (talks) I’ve sort of blanked it from my mind, I’m still in post traumatic stress disorder I think.

Sound Bite: Tilda Swinton
No I think its really great performance I have to say because its something more, he calls it the third of trilogy of idiots with the Coen’s. But I think its something more than that. I think its something really something about the paranoia and uhm the panic in him that’s uhm I don’t know, I find it very, he’s very vulnerable in it and I think there’s something very very touching about it. But of course its also ridiculous.
