Being an actor is really, really hard, no matter how you slice it.
I see a lot of homes that are supercool, and everything is very tasteful, but it's not warm. I'm really scared of rooms that look too serious.
I like playwriting because it's rooted in a single location with actors standing talking to each other.
I think you have to be in an insane stratosphere in terms of fame in order to get offered really well-written scripts. Amanda Peet is definitely not in that group.
I don't know if those things work, where you do, like, this crash diet or crash starvation. It's just not something I've ever been into.
I'm a big fan of gallows humor. When my aunt passed away, she was in a coma for a day before my cousins pulled the plug. And the amount of joking and base humor that went on that day around her bed was so insane. It's crazy how people talk when something horrible is happening.
When I make a change, like when I found out I had high cholesterol, I just changed my lifestyle.
I do know that I think children should be vaccinated because that affects the health of all the other children.
Since I got a really bad review when I was, like, 28 in 'The New York Times,' I don't read reviews anymore.
My writing philosophy is throwing spaghetti against the wall. That's how I take pictures, too. If I take 100, surely one will be good.
In a romantic comedy, it's usually a good idea to have people who can't stand the fact that they are attracted to each other.
If you think about it, there aren't that many women who are in their 40s, who are Jewish and funny and stage-worthy.
I'm interested in people who are very close to the people who commit crimes.
I'd like to be someone on 'Games of Thrones.'
