00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:02.040 align:middle line:90%
- Can I ask when did you--

00:00:02.040 --> 00:00:04.200 align:middle line:84%
when did you get comfortable
with being neurotic?

00:00:04.200 --> 00:00:06.390 align:middle line:84%
When did you recognize,
I'm a neurotic person,

00:00:06.390 --> 00:00:08.070 align:middle line:84%
and the only way to
really deal with this

00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:10.050 align:middle line:84%
is to get comfortable
with it, embrace it?

00:00:10.050 --> 00:00:11.890 align:middle line:84%
BARRY SONNENFELD: That's
a really good question.

00:00:11.890 --> 00:00:12.990 align:middle line:90%
I think I became--

00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:16.290 align:middle line:90%
- Asking for a friend.

00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:18.060 align:middle line:84%
BARRY SONNENFELD:
I think I became

00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:23.010 align:middle line:84%
self-confident with my neuroses
when I met my future wife.

00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:25.200 align:middle line:90%
I think the fact that--

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.570 align:middle line:90%
I call her Sweetie.

00:00:26.570 --> 00:00:28.250 align:middle line:84%
So do the grips
and electricians.

00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:32.130 align:middle line:84%
But the fact that Sweetie
and I could fall in love

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:38.160 align:middle line:84%
and be married and all that
made me embrace my neurosis,

00:00:38.160 --> 00:00:41.460 align:middle line:84%
because she's sporty
and smart and beautiful

00:00:41.460 --> 00:00:42.960 align:middle line:84%
and shouldn't be
with someone like me.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.790 align:middle line:84%
And the fact that she
is made me confident.

00:00:46.790 --> 00:00:51.000 align:middle line:84%
- So prior to that, even
though you were shooting movies

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:52.290 align:middle line:84%
for the Coen brothers
in the '80s, you

00:00:52.290 --> 00:00:54.870 align:middle line:84%
were getting worldwide acclaim
for those things, you were--

00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:56.160 align:middle line:84%
you were-- you did
not find yourself

00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:58.050 align:middle line:84%
to be a self-confident
person, although you

00:00:58.050 --> 00:00:59.170 align:middle line:90%
had met Sweetie prior to that.

00:00:59.170 --> 00:00:59.820 align:middle line:84%
BARRY SONNENFELD:
I had met Sweetie--

00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:01.260 align:middle line:84%
- You just didn't
marry till later.

00:01:01.260 --> 00:01:03.090 align:middle line:90%
BARRY SONNENFELD: Prior to that.

00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.690 align:middle line:90%
But I will say I was very--

00:01:06.690 --> 00:01:09.240 align:middle line:90%
I was a very neurotic mess.

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:11.220 align:middle line:90%
I would constantly throw up.

00:01:11.220 --> 00:01:14.520 align:middle line:90%
I had a very nervous stomach.

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:16.950 align:middle line:90%
I was not self-confident.

00:01:16.950 --> 00:01:18.600 align:middle line:90%
So Sweetie gets all the credit.

00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:22.850 align:middle line:90%
