When it comes to dating, you're not as crazy as you think you are.

I like to think of characters in relation to other cinematic characters.

Without the benefit of Google, ask anybody to name more than five female filmmakers that have made more than three films. It's shockingly hard.

I can't be the only person that's like, "Why am I in love with this guy just because he makes me feel bad?" I can't be the only person in the world who's had that feeling.

I've been in love with my best friend and not been able to tell that person.

I've really carelessly gotten out of relationships that were incredibly destructive instead of being honest.

I've slept with men that are unavailable, I've fallen in love with people I don't know.

Watching my own past heartache and experience day after day - it was gut-wrenching, cathartic, beautiful, and painful. That and shooting the film in less than a month.

I focus on darker things or bad behavior or explicit dialogue because creatively I am more interested in my mistakes and why I made them than my good deeds and my achievements.

I want people to understand and recognize that when it comes to dating, you're not as crazy as you think you are. Everyone needs love. We need it like air or water. We just don't know how to get it.

Daydreaming is the purest form of being. Take that away and One suffers.

There is no man so good who were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.

I love being a writer. I am very lucky my life's ambition turned out to be just as much fun as I thought it would be.

Skills come with age, but wisdom, I doubt it very, very much.

He who weighs his burdens, can bear them.

People around me called me an idol, so that's what I was.

There's no escape. I'm God's only man.

Every year, it takes more brains to navigate this complicated world. More people are falling below what I call the 'incompetence line' through no fault of their own.

I come out of repertory theatre so I've been working under pressure my whole career.

Life is too short to spend your precious time trying to convince the person who wants to live in gloom and doom otherwise.
