My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what's the purpose of reading, and maybe that it's not that cool to hate something just because it's popular.

Everyone has expectations. You just don't want to have them dashed, so you're quiet about them.

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

Knowing when to say something and when not to say something is important.

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

There are just things you can explore in a movie that you can't in 22 minutes with a laugh track.

My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.
