I hate going to bed. I read scripts, clean, listen to the radio - I've fallen asleep to 'This American Life' more times than I can count!

It's a good thing I learned some humility and perspective as I got older.

In a way, you normalize your own childhood to yourself, so I never thought about how much I wrote as a kid. So I was there, confronted with it - so many notebooks, so many tiny plays. Every week we put on a play. We had a big futon, so my sister and I would use the futon as our stage, and I wrote little skits and made her faint because I found it so funny.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

There are a lot of words that I knew first as a reader, and I never put the pieces together in my brain. The word segue I thought was pronounced "seeg," I think until I went to college, which is horribly embarrassing.

If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.

I never wanted to be a playwright.
