My poor mom really wants me to meet someone. I think she wanted to believe the Ryan Gosling rumor more than anybody.

Oh, Zoe Kazan - I'd move back to Brooklyn for her. She makes me happy with my life. Knowing her, being at her dinner table, going on a walk with her is the best of all possible worlds.

I don't think things through very often - I don't project into the future about how a situation will turn out.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

I don't want to do anything to embarrass my family or my church because the town that I come from is so small. There are certain things that I just can't be part of because of my foundation.

Relationships have always seemed very mysterious, and therefore worth exploring. I’m single, so it’s still kind of a mystery - a worthwhile mystery, one that I want to be on the scent of. I’m not lonely, and I think that has a lot to do with what’s on my bedside table rather than what’s in my bed.

I'm not going to rush anything and scamper around like a mad person and make myself crazy.
