Though a rumor has floated that Jonze was worn out by the process of working on the features Malkovich and Three Kings and wants to return to shorter projects, he says he's ready for more. He has spoken recently to Rage Against the Machine about a video and always has his eye out for other documentary ideas. But he's also known for being choosy, and when it comes to features, he'll continue to hold out for scripts as good as the movies he loves, like The Celebration, Election, and The Straight Story.

"He's a genius -- everybody knows it," says a friend from the skateboard days. "Whenever he does something, people just wait. People put everything aside. You just don't know what's going on in his head -- ever."
