I try to look at life carefully and reproduce life the way life is. It's a question of looking carefully at how it is. In life, you don't have total happiness. People always say that. But you don't have total sadness either, no matter what situation you are living in.

Start [the movie] in color. Color is always attributed as fun, and black and white is very sad.

I don't think of myself as a rebel; I just say what I think.

I think with pictures; I'm a very lousy writer. If I write without pictures, I become this pathetic chick sitting somewhere trying to be interesting.

A real love story has to finish bad. That is what I think.

I am very bad at computers. I don't really know how to write email.

I'm not a very good financing person. I don't even know how much money I have in my bank account. I never have opened one single envelope from the bank - they freak me out.
