I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

There's something melancholy about professors because they're chronically abandoned. They form these lovely relationships with students and then the students leave and the professors stay the same. It's like they're chronically abandoned.

Well, I stopped drinking. That was actually a big deal. I didn't go through any harrowing rock-bottom experience. I just made a decision to stop drinking.

If I’m feeling something, I have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? I can write an article about it. I can write a screenplay about it. I can act in someone’s thing.

When I go to movies and I love the movie, it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now, and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

I feel comfortable with women. I have two sisters, so I grew up in a female-dominated environment.
