My parents are both really, really funny, and my little sister is a really good painter, and my other sister is a really good writer.

Sometimes when a movie is really alive you can see that they were just making decisions on the spot. They weren't bound to anything, they were working with ideas that the actors and situations presented.

I don't think anyone cares whether you're working or not. I have the luxury now of not having to support anyone and not really needing a whole lot of money.

It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made.

I kind of end up getting caught up in whatever the rhythm of the movie is and how open the director is to changing things in the moment or finding it in rehearsal.

The thing is, I really can't relate to anyone my own age. Not in a superior way - an inferior way, if anything. Socially, I have no idea what my friends are talking about. I don't listen to any new music. I feel very secluded.

I like to write. I like to do that when I'm not working so I don't go totally crazy, and so I feel like I'm still doing something constructive.
