I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life.

He's a very strange guy, my father. I can't get mad at him because he's so adorable.

What I really like is the marriage of both [writing and acting] - for instance, with Postcards. I don't actually act in it, but I worked on it with Mike [Nichols] as I went along, creating the character, so it was a bit like acting for me.

Part of my gestalt is that I still feel a little bit like a wallflower. Even in my own life. I talk about myself behind my back.

Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.

My extroversion is a way of managing my introversion.

I don't want to be a victim.
