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

I was born with a fierce need for independence.

There was a sense of being taken on a journey by the grandmaster of the road trip. You feel this weird angel taking you somewhere. You don't know where, but you trust him.

When I was filming the Marilyn Monroe movie, I was listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen.

I find that each job that I do, the thing that gets me there is when I'm not smarter than it, when I don't know instantly how that thing is made. Because if I do, then it's boring. Or it would be simple.

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