It's funny; as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.

I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.

In terms of threshold, as long as it's based in reality, you can go pretty far, as long as you buy that it's really happening.

Once you start writing a character visually, you're in trouble.

Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.'

You push so far past the normal boundaries of what’s O.K. in society. I’m always fully aware of, ‘You can’t do this’… When someone really believes in what they’re saying, but it’s crazy, it’s like my favorite thing on earth… [But] Crazy’s just crazy and there’s nowhere to go. You can have a point of view, it can be very strange, but we have to know your reasoning.

I don't associate with people who blame the world for their problems. You are your problem. You are also your solution.
