Sometimes your characters in films do things that you wouldn't do. You're not playing yourself all the time.

If you follow your heart, you're never going to regret anything, even if you completely mess up constantly.

I do want to work on writing, because writing's a skill. Writing is something that you can train yourself to know better. To know yourself better. And it's intimidating as hell.

You can make a movie that's more focused on the jokes, but Young Adult was not that kind of movie.

Women have a faith in themselves that is unpragmatic and in each other that's just emotional and f - ing strong. Both of those characters are criticized for being weak, for being subject to a man, but I think that that's a really bold and natural thing that we all want.

Nobody lived my life. Nobody cried my tears. So don't judge me.

I just really am trying, trying, all the time. But I like to be scared. I love to suddenly feel out of control.
