Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn't pass my friend's sixth-grade class.

Every movie I make I find kind of excruciating. I get a lot back from it, but I feel like I'm kind of always working at the edge of my ability. I guess that's what I'm looking for when I go to work. I am trying to become the edge.

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 know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I don't know what 15-year-old doesn't have a desire to separate themselves from their parents and prove their independence.

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.

I love things that are old and beautiful and tell a story, even if it's a sad one.
