I'm lucky to have worked with great actors, my whole career.
I got Twitter identity theft.
I love stories about misfits and underdogs.
I'm always reaching to find something that will challenge me and make me do my best.
It's really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day
I imagine, in the future, life expectancy is long and they use crazy plastic surgery. Who the hell knows what's going on?
I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.
I'm sort of the bossiest sister.
I'm actively looking for things to direct again. I had such an amazing experience on this. I really am spoiled.
I'm really interested in making movies that people see: I've made a lot of independent films and it's really depressing when no one sees them.
What I love about Twitter specifically is that reciprocity is not guaranteed, nor expected. In other words, I can go one way. I can put things out. I don't have to respond to everybody.
Someone told me that having a baby is like having your heart walking around outside of your body, and I didn't understand it until I had a baby. Now, like, everything he does literally crushes my heart. In a great way. And then if he's in pain, it's like my whole endeavor is to make sure he's not in pain.
I played softball. I was on an all-star team. I traveled with the team. I loved it.
My father always made an amazing meatloaf, and I've inherited his skill. Leftover meatloaf in a sandwich? Come on!
