Welcome to The Treatment. I'm Elvis Mitchell. I mean, what seems like a very calm environment here at KCRW with my guest, actress Patricia Arquette, who I think about the kinds of directors that you've worked with going from Stephen Frears to Martin Scorsese to David O. Russell, to David Lynch, to Rickling later twice between Fast Food Nation and now this current film Boyhood. And you've got to like that going to

these people so often who are writers who shape the material and give you an emotional entry point,

don't you? Well, I really think the material always, the writing is critical. And I've always been

drawn to people that are telling a little bit of a different story in some sort of a way.

I love other artists and the way that their minds work.

And I love the collaborative way that television and film does work.

You know, it's not, when it's at its best, I think it's not about you or your own work.

It's about this group effort.

So often you play these characters who go through something and come out at the other side as

completely different people, even in comedy, even something like Flavorian, she comes

out the other side, and she's a different person because of it.

And I was thinking about that being so often something that I see in your work,

and I was just wondering if that was a conscious choice for you in many cases.
