Because whatever I feel inside, it has a place to go. It just saves me over and over and over again.

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.

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

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

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 like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

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