Paul Thomas Anderson

I know, and this is why I like it.

I just want to hear you guys.

I have to tell you, my favorite, I listen to, I don't listen to.

You haven't listened to this.

I have.

Of course I have.

But the one joke that stuck with me forever and ever and ever was,

was Will sing something about your father, Jason.

And by father, he meant the security guard at the 20th Century Fox.

LAUGHTER

That sounds about right.

Don't make Jason cry.

It stuck with me where I think about it.

That's what I think about, Sean, when I'm driving down the road.

Every once in a while, I'll think about something pops into your head.

You think, God, that was really, really, really, really funny.

Sean loves the dirt, Paul.

That is very true, is that I asked Leo to be in Boogie Nights, and he spent many, many months agonizing and debating about it.

Months?

And ultimately, what I didn't realize, or kind of came to realize about halfway into that, this sort of long decision-making process, is that he had a choice to make, which was to either do Titanic or to do Boogie Nights, and he chose to do Titanic, which, of course, in the long run, catapulted him to this massive worldwide fame.
