Oscar: Outstanding work in Inside Llewyn Davis, one of my favorite films from recent years especially from your performance. Besides the obvious Dave von Ronk, did you or the Coens have any filmic precedents for your character, or were there particular films that you watched to help craft Llewyn's portrait? Or did you just focus on historical figures for it?

Kubrick's known for his meticulous approach to directing, but did he give you a chance to improvise with any of the action? what sort of things did you bring to the role that helped craft such a deep and enigmatic character through such little exposition?
