I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.

I just love the fact that that's the way life is. When something horrible happens, you do find yourself laughing in weird places in the midst of grief and crying in the supermarket when you see a cereal that somebody used to eat. There's just no way of guarding yourself one way or another. Everybody grieves differently, and there's no right or wrong way.

It's important to just keep wanting whatever it is you want and fight for it, desperately.

What I like about The Meddler style of movie is that it's a fairly lighthearted romantic comedy, but there are hidden moments where something happens that's unexpected, that hopefully have some kind of emotional resonance that you didn't see coming. I love when a film does that.

Do you really expect me to say gravity hasn't taken its toll? No. But as I'm earning these lines [in my face], I'm making an aesthetic choice.

It gets to be 2 a.m., and they hand you a bottle of whipped cream and some syrup and things start getting silly.

It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.
