I don't love the word "quirky." I think it's a word that's a catchall. It's a word that doesn't stand in empathy with the person, it stands in judgment of them. It's a very externalized word.

I don't feel like I have a super straightforward relationship with the idea of fame. It makes me sort of level things out in my own brain almost immediately when I meet someone.

I have mad luck. I'm super-good at games like backgammon or anything that requires rolling dice.

Anytime that I've felt uninspired, I don't force myself to sit down and write. I only do it when I feel the impulse.

When you're in the editing room, as a director, you get the opportunity to look at your work. As a writer, you can rewrite. But as an actor, unless you're watching playback, you really rely on the director to help you.

I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.

We all have our essential nature. If you're good with numbers, you don't even know you're good with numbers because that's how your mind works.
