becomes good jennifer
Like any good actor, Jennifer just becomes this other person.
assume children everybody fun ideas life money spent ugly
You can't just assume that everybody is in the same situation. And with children we all have ideas about how money should be spent on them and it's not like there's an ugly thing in my life and between my friends it's just I thought it was a fun thing to write about.
deal focused incredibly media shooting
We didn't have a lot of exteriors and we only had to deal with the media when we were shooting (outside). Jen was incredibly focused and professional.
mistake coffee thinking
People say to me all the time that I threw some money into some guy's coffee cup [by accident, thinking they were poor]. People do make the same sort of mistake. I've made attempts to volunteer that have been calamitous!
tired feelings tragedy
I never get tired of looking at her [Catherine Keener] and it always surprises me, despite how many hours of film I've shot on that face. She's fantastic. She does comedy and tragedy so equally well. She wears her feeling so on the surface for both. I try to stop myself from casting her but I just keep coming back to her. She's just so fantastic to work with.
annie-hall manhattan fans
If anything, I learned most from being a huge fan of his and watching movies like Annie Hall and Manhattan over and over again - that influenced the kind of movies that I wanted to make more than anything else.
directed feature tim
I'm being photographed, worrying about my hair - and yet here I am, I've directed a feature film, why do I care about the way I look? Who cares? Does Tim Burton care? Does Joel Coen?
director fearful men women
To say you want to be a director is to risk sounding obnoxious, pretentious, arrogant, and I think women are more fearful of sounding that way than men are.
equal good goodwill high history hope measures meet people special thrilled toward
Thrilled and petrified. Equal measures of both. Thrilled because I have a history with Sundance, which made this feel special and like a real honor. Petrified, I guess, because I think it's never good to go into a film with really high expectations. That can't be in my favor. That's not to say it won't meet them, but what if it doesn't? I hope people will have goodwill toward it.
furniture gets morning next perfect room
If a woman gets insomnia, you never know where you're going to find her furniture the next morning. It's primal. We have so little we can control, but we can perfect the way our room looks.
offered scripts stack
I have a stack of scripts that I've read - I'm in the lucky position where I get offered things - but I haven't wanted to direct many of them.
movies obviously
My movies make a profit, but obviously not a fortune.
