Hailee Steinfield interview: ‘The first movie to inspire me was Paper Moon’

The actor was hugely impressed with Tatum O’Neal doing so much so young

The first movie I saw that really inspired me was Paper Moon with Tatum O’Neal. There was something about her being so young and being able to accomplish so much in that movie – I thought she was so smart and quick.

What’s your favourite film ever?

One of them is Annie Hall. There’s something so effortless about that movie. It’s so organic and spontaneous. I just can’t imagine a script that well written.

What’s your most overrated film?

In terms of genre, I don’t necessarily go out of my way to see westerns, which is weird because I’ve been in a couple. I had never seen one before I made [True Grit]. I guess I enjoy being in them rather than watching them.

Favourite director?

As a fan, Christopher Nolan, and in terms of people I’ve worked with, the Coen brothers.

What’s your favourite environment for watching films?

It depends on my mood. I love being at home and just watching a movie in my room, but I also love the idea of getting friends together and going to the cinema.

What’s your favourite film snack?

Sour Patch Watermelons every time. It’s candy, not an actual watermelon.
