I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.

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

I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don't know why. I don't think she necessarily looks like me or acts like me, I just think she's a cool actress and she could play me, so there you go.

If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire best director category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.

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.

To enjoy being famous, you need to have a screw loose.
