Drive, 2011.
Ryan Gosling on director Nicolas Winding Refn: ‘Yeah, he would hug me a lot before takes. I don’t know what he was looking for, but he would come and hug me before the take and then and I didn’t even think that I was resisting the hug, but I had given in to the hug, but I had, because I had reached a point where I would even give in more to the hug and once I got to that place, he would look at me and say, “Go with God.” And then he would put in his iPod and not even listen to what we were saying, just watch and listen to music, and cry a lot.’
Buck Brannaman, Grayson West, 2011.
“I know there are a lot more people with more skill and technical knowledge about making films.

No Country For Old Men, 2007.
While watching it on the big screen, I heard a commotion and thought that a gunman must have shot his way through the lobby and was headed for our theater.
