What's funny is that with my comedies I don't believe they're my best screenplays necessarily. They're just the ones that I wrote that I knew I could get financing, you know? I believe my other films could be better, but right now they're not being made. But they will eventually.

I love making movies. I love writing. I love acting. I love it, and I feel really blessed to be able to actually make a living with something I love doing.

If Woody Allen called me, I'd be there straight away. Who wouldn't? Truly.

I think some people, when they get a certain ego, they lose sense of whatever.

When you're an actress, you become this thing in people's hands that people are trying to manipulate. I cannot stand it.

It's easier for Europeans to give money to a movie that says a blow job is what brought down American democracy.

Never take no for an answer. It took me 20 years between the time I wrote my first screenplay and the time I actually got money to direct a movie.
