subject: Justin Long Interview for Going the Distance - Celebrity Interviews [print this page] The 32 year-old says the experience of doing a film with such a talented and funny supporting cast like Charlie Day, Jason Sudekis, and Christina Applegate proved to be more hard work than one would think.
"I always pride myself on being able to hold it together and kind of stable and kind of keep it together and take it," Long says, "I've never had a harder time keeping a straight face and working these guys in. Rob Riggle and Kristen Shaal, you're just so lucky to be surrounded by these people."

"Albums, I would say Bob Dylan's Blood On The Tracks, Joni Mitchell's Blue, and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, I think, are my top three," Justin replies, "Films would be Annie Hall, Back To The Future, and Way Out West."
Finally, Justin was asked whether Going The Distance could be considered a "recession romance."
