Dan Epstein: Spike Lee mentioned that you and Anna [Paquin] have a rapport because you directed her in a play. How did that help you out?
Philip Seymour Hoffman: In The 25th Hour she played someone who had all the power over me. It was a comeuppance. It was really great. Working with Anna on the play then acting with her was like seeing something through fruition.
DE: Philip when you play these characters that are so odd do you have to come up with a way to sympathize with them?
