Film allows me to ask some really big questions with the time to explore them deeply. I love the form.

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

We don't have a lot of space in our imaginations to allow people to expand what they do.

I find myself going out less and less. When you're 22 and see older people start to do that, it's depressing, but once you hit 30, you think, 'Wow, I've been working all week - it might be really nice to stay in!

The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.

I care about reading, a lot. It's a big part of my life.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.
