I'm far too middle-class to morally object to a paying job.

There are a million little things, but one of the best ways to get to know characters is to just put them in situations and see what they say.

I love shooting in New York because I love the city. Ultimately, I like doing it there and the city is important to the story, but it can be hard to shoot where you live too because it is so all-absorbing.

I like people who love books and movies and art and want to talk about it all the time, because that's basically what I want to talk about. Intellectuals that are funny.

When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.

I didn't know the city at all, but I was so happy to be in New York I cried. I was so excited.

I'm not really capable of memorizing stuff without moving around, that's how I do it.
