You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.

The producers had seen "In a World..." and that's where they found me out and consequently sought me out for this role [in Man up].

I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.

I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.

I'm a music person. Music is, for me, the best way to cure any sort of anxiety or icky feelings. I think it immediately takes you out of your element and makes some other person do the work for your thoughts.

I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.

Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.
