I've always been kind of picky because I've always been interested in lots of different things. I chose to take three years off and go to school, and that helped keep me sane. Hollywood can make you crazy, if all you're thinking about is your next job.

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.

I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world.

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.

My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.

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.
