I love being outside with trees and water, lying down somewhere or walking. I do transcendental meditation, which keeps me calm and steady.

My mum put me in drama classes when I was about 14. I'd been going on about it for some time, so maybe it was a way to shut me up.

Noah Baumbach writing is really wonderful. I think the way he plays out each character with a unique voice is really impressive, and rhythmically his dialogue works.
