[Shwing] the really naked stuff I've dealt with in my own life, my own therapy and relationships - for me it just feels like a film I'm really proud of.

Manhattan is so tailored. It's driven by appealing to the very wealthy and tourists.

I realize how much I rely on the actors to really know the lines because I tend to forget what they are exactly, even though I've written them. I don't have them memorized. But when it's going well, there is that point where the actor starts to know more about the character than I do.

It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.

If you don't feel good about something, you don't shake it off easily.

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

I didn't train in directing; I talk to actors the way I talk to anybody.
