I feel like directing is an innate talent.

People spend so much time in their cars, and it's a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.

Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a... legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.

Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.

Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.

I like action more than anything touchy-feely.

When I do my own makeup, I keep things pretty simple.
