I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.
I’d love to write something for a male protagonist. That’s sort of the next frontier for me. I think it’d be really amazing to write the kind of parts that I love for women but for a guy.
If you’re writing, you’re starting in private. It can really be this amazing, private, freeing experience. Forget that it’s for other people – that comes in later.
Okay, ‘Best Party Ever’ – to me, that’s like saying ‘Best Gym Ever’ or ‘Best Nature Documentary Ever,’ like how good can it really be?
I should do the things that make me feel cool and smart. As I get older, I’m realizing more and more that it doesn’t really matter if I’m good at it, it just matters that I try. My own effort, my own willingness, are becoming what’s appealing to me.
Once, my little sister was walking down the street in her thick black glasses, and a homeless man muttered, Talk nerdy to me.
I would rather spend my entire life doing nothing than have my name attached to something mediocre.
I’ve never thought of myself as an actor, so somebody recognizing me for that would be a real shock.
I love what I do, I love every minute of it.
I’m glad if my work can make a difference.
If you watch my movie, you understand I am perverse and weird and angry and not looking to direct a film that ends with a bunch of teenagers exploding into glitter.
I always say that I can play sort of six variations on one girl, all of whom are a variation on me. Maybe I’ll think of myself as an actor if, like, I do a corset drama.
I think of my body as a tool to do the stuff I need to do, but not the be all end all of my existence.
The way in which you share your body must be a CHOICE. Support these women and do not look at these pictures.
My dad finds Twitter just infinitely unrelatable. He’s like, ‘Why would I want to tell anybody what I had for a snack, it’s private?!’ And I’m like, ‘Why would you even have a snack if you didn’t tell anybody? Why bother eating?’
I seriously consider television to be the people’s medium.
I kind of look like every other girl walking around.
You can’t give any exciting speech without misremembering things.
Here’s what I have to say about being married: someday you will look at him, hating him with every fibre of your being, wishing that he would die the most violent death possible. It will pass.
Luxury is nice, but creativity is nicer.
