A remarkable thing about me is that the time that elapses between a sad thought and a flood of tears is three or four seconds.

What I'd really like to write is a romantic comedy. This is my favorite kind of movie. I feel almost embarrassed revealing this, because the genre has been so degraded in the past twenty years that saying you like romantic comedies is essentially an admission of mild stupidity.

I know a lot of people think of me and they like, oh that girl is really sexy, that girl is really put together, she would never do something as unladylike as a beet eating competition.

When you're "East Coast" person, you are so insufferable, and you have no idea. And I was. One, because I was miserable, and nobody liked to be around a miserable person, and two, everything that I thought was so profound, everyone had already dealt with.

I have an underdog spirit in me, and now it feels weird to kind of get my own way more often than not.

My mom always used to say, "You can't say I love you before you can say I." And I think that sort of makes sense.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.
