This one feels like the start of a beautiful friendship. Jason Schwartzman really embodies all of the things that make Paste feel warm and fuzzy inside: art cinema, rad tunes, and an association with Wes Anderson. Editor-in-chief Josh Jackson caught up with Mr. Schwartzman while he was in Atlanta promoting his new film with Anderson, The Darjeeling Limited. Their chat covered everything from the new movie, Schwartzman's cameo as Ringo Starr in Walk Hard, his latest musical project, and the special bond between himself and Paste publisher Tim Regan-Porter. BFF? Sounds perfect.
