My boyfriend is Italian and from New Jersey, so naturally he was thrilled to meet Joe Pesci.

In my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

In the past, I'll admit, I've enjoyed being compared to the protagonists in my screenplays.

I try to avoid Twitter. I occasionally can't resist the siren call of email.

Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.

I had gone to the bookstore, and while I hadn't bought any books on how to write a screenplay, I'd bought a couple of scripts so I could see how the formatting works. I just needed to know how a Hollywood screenplay looked on the page, which was something I was totally unfamiliar with.

You make a first impression and people never forget it. If people want to think of me as the wacky 'Juno' lady forever, I could think of worse ways to be labeled.
