“It still seems surreal that I was in this film. I still don’t quite believe I did it.Being around these actors all day was a dream for me. And then we would have dinner every night, and I’d be sitting there with Edward Norton to my right, Jeff Goldblum to the left, Ralph Fiennes opposite with Saoirse Ronan and Bill Murray.  And then Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson at the end. It was amazing. But I was nervous about doing the kissing scene with Saoirse Ronan, so I asked Ralph Fiennes for advice. He looks at me, stares at me for a bit, smiles and says, ‘Well, you tell her - I’m sorry if I get aroused, and I’m sorry if I don’t.’  It made me laugh which was exactly what I needed.” Said the rising star.
