00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,800


2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,040
- Can I ask when did you--

3
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,200
when did you get comfortable
with being neurotic?

4
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,390
When did you recognize,
I'm a neurotic person,

5
00:00:06,390 --> 00:00:08,070
and the only way to
really deal with this

6
00:00:08,070 --> 00:00:10,050
is to get comfortable
with it, embrace it?

7
00:00:10,050 --> 00:00:11,890
BARRY SONNENFELD: That's
a really good question.

8
00:00:11,890 --> 00:00:12,990
I think I became--

9
00:00:12,990 --> 00:00:16,290
- Asking for a friend.

10
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:18,060
BARRY SONNENFELD:
I think I became

11
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:23,010
self-confident with my neuroses
when I met my future wife.

12
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:25,200
I think the fact that--

13
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,570
I call her Sweetie.

14
00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:28,250
So do the grips
and electricians.

15
00:00:28,250 --> 00:00:32,130
But the fact that Sweetie
and I could fall in love

16
00:00:32,130 --> 00:00:38,160
and be married and all that
made me embrace my neurosis,

17
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:41,460
because she's sporty
and smart and beautiful

18
00:00:41,460 --> 00:00:42,960
and shouldn't be
with someone like me.

19
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,790
And the fact that she
is made me confident.

20
00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:51,000
- So prior to that, even
though you were shooting movies

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,290
for the Coen brothers
in the '80s, you

22
00:00:52,290 --> 00:00:54,870
were getting worldwide acclaim
for those things, you were--

23
00:00:54,870 --> 00:00:56,160
you were-- you did
not find yourself

24
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,050
to be a self-confident
person, although you

25
00:00:58,050 --> 00:00:59,170
had met Sweetie prior to that.

26
00:00:59,170 --> 00:00:59,820
BARRY SONNENFELD:
I had met Sweetie--

27
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:01,260
- You just didn't
marry till later.

28
00:01:01,260 --> 00:01:03,090
BARRY SONNENFELD: Prior to that.

29
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:06,690
But I will say I was very--

30
00:01:06,690 --> 00:01:09,240
I was a very neurotic mess.

31
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,220
I would constantly throw up.

32
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:14,520
I had a very nervous stomach.

33
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,950
I was not self-confident.

34
00:01:16,950 --> 00:01:18,600
So Sweetie gets all the credit.
