When I go to movies and I love the movie it's because it feels like it articulated something about how we're living now and also gives me some insight into my own life. I feel actually altered after having seen it.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

I went through this very serious Woody Allen phase in college and a little bit after college. I still see his movies.

I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.

I like movies that are about real people in real time with real problems.

I think I made good movies.

I loved the movies and I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was so glamorous and everyone seemed to love her. I wanted to be like that and I told everyone I would be the next Marilyn Monroe.

I love doing kind of more kiddish-oriented movies but I also love doing adult things. And I think it's fun to do a mix.

I really like Gwyneth Paltrow a lot as far as her career because I think she's done a lot of small movies but she's also done great big movies and she's a really great actress.

I just feel like with independent movies... they're really free to do whatever they want. They're not afraid to make a statement about anything and there's not a huge studio behind them making sure that everything is wholesome and politically correct and all that.
