The big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what’s the right way to tell a particular story.

I've never been a guy who had more than a toe in Hollywood anyway, so my toe is more easily lopped off than most.

I'd like to quit thinking of the present as some minor insignificant preamble to something else.

All the women are going around saying, "Oh, we're just friends, we're just friends," but the guy's going, "Yeah, we're friends, but as soon as she breaks up with her boyfriend, I'm hoping to move in."

I've always been most interested in the politics of everyday life: your relation to whatever you're doing, or what your ambitions are, where you live, where you find yourself in the social hierarchy.

The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving.

When you're in love, you're asking someone else to fulfill all your unfulfilled needs, to make you whole, and to make you feel good about everything, and no one can do that.
