Well, while we were shooting Drive, Ryan and I were talking about what we should do next, because we really enjoyed each other’s company and collaboration and just hanging out together… It was a great team spirit. I… I mean… I love him. And I don’t love him in the Hollywood way where everyone loves everybody, I mean I really love him. My wife loves him… He loves my wife… I love his mother… So we’re very similar in many aspects of our sensibilities, we have different upbringings but we gravitate towards the same things. And of course he was the one who gave me the opportunity to make a film in Hollywood the way I would like to make one, which probably would never have happened otherwise.
