In relationships, you learn a million things. I'm sure a therapist can tell you about it.

It's so hard for people to give up their cell phones or their ideas of being connected to everything all the time in order to get an immersive experience. That's the best way to make art. It's almost like you have to treat it like you're going into a submarine, and Noah Baumbach totally agrees with that. There's not a real other life that happens outside of the movie while it's being shot, which I like.

I feel like most people aren't either/or, they're both/and. You're both magnanimous and petty. You're both kind and cruel. You're never just one thing.

I'm interested in the feeling of getting to zero after a play, like you're never going to do it again. That's a really scary feeling.

In college, it's very easy to maintain your female friendships because you're in such close proximity all the time.

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

I think I'm pretty committed to staying. I'm not committed to not doing big movies, but I am committed to continuing to make smaller movies, not for the sake of making smaller movies, but because I think it's really invigorating to just go work with people and know that it might be awful.
