Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.

I’d rather not talk about money. It’s kind of gross.

No one should have to conform to some mythical concept of the ideal family.

Directing is so interesting. You know, it just sort of encompasses everything that you see, that you know, that you've felt, that you have observed.

I remember when I was 5 living on Pulaski Street in Brooklyn, the hallway of our building had a brass banister and a great sound, a great echo system. I used to sing in the hallway.

What does it mean when people applaud? Should I give 'em money? Say thank you? Lift my dress? The lack of applause - that I can respond to.

I'm a work in progress.
