But I don't go around comparing and contrasting myself with other actors if I can help it. It's also, I think, the key to my success.

Proust, my big inspiration for 'Goon Squad,' uses music a lot in his novel, both in terms of plot and structure.

The contrasting focus on connection versus hierarchy also sheds light on innumerable adult conversations - and frustrations. Say a woman tells another about a personal problem and hears in response, 'I know how you feel' or 'the same thing happens to me.' The resulting 'troubles talk' reinforces the connection between them.
