Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

And in a world without heroes, as the movie trailer voice-over guy might say, the slightly awkward can be slightly cool.

I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

If I don't direct a movie at some point, I've failed personally.

Really, as long as I am working and have diversity, I am happy.

I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff - kissing - is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.

I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I'd want to kick my own ass.
