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

Sometime female characters, especially in the genre of something that people consider rom-com, make mistakes in a cute way or they're a mess in a way that's palatable. I like that.

I can say I'm a relationship person, and I like relationships. I think I also like relationships because then you don't have to date because dating is horrible.

I think in theater the playwright is king. Those words are unchangeable. They are the reason that everything else flows from.

You feel sadness for time passing. New York is a city that keeps reinventing itself, and I love it so much.

As a kid, I was a big reader. Books and theater were the way I understood the world, and also the way I organized my sense of morality, of how to live a good life. I would read all night. My mom would come into my room and tell me I had to go to sleep, so I would hide books under my bed. At first I had a tough time getting through novels, so I read plays, because a play is generally shorter and has all those tools for getting people hooked early on.

The economy is rough. I think that affects everyone from big filmmakers to tiny filmmakers.
