Mike Nichols
For his 2007 Directors Guild Lifetime Achievement award, I spoke with Nichols about his craft, which was boundless. The conversation became fodder for an article I wrote but I never published the interview itself, though it was one of my favorites.
Spike Jonze
Jonze has always been a favorite interview subject. His work is diverse and he's remarkably sensitive and insightful. This piece was done around the release of Where the Wild Things Are and the documentary he made about Maurice Sendak, Tell them Anything You Want.
Alexander Payne & Jim Taylor
Payne and Taylor are just special. This piece was done around the release of their third film together, About Schmidt.
Charlie Kaufman
Of the many interviews I've done with Kaufman, this one about an obscure, un-produced TV pilot he wrote, Depressed Roomies, holds a place in my heart.
Woody Allen
Around the time of Match Point, Woody told me about his writing process and his favorite joke — it’s not what you think.
