In relationships, you learn a million things. I’m sure a therapist can tell you about it.
When I felt like I was looking down the barrel of nothing on the horizon it was hard for me.
In college, it’s very easy to maintain your female friendships because you’re in such close proximity all the time.
I think it’s really hard to work in a city where you live too, because I get so absorbed with the movie that I become a bad friend and a bad participant in my own life.
I like acting and things when I like the writing. If I don’t like the writing, I don’t like acting. I think in some ways everything starts for me from the place of writing.
I love shooting in New York because I love the city. Ultimately, I like doing it there and the city is important to the story, but it can be hard to shoot where you live too because it is so all-absorbing.
If you’re with one person, then you don’t have to meet other people. It’s like when you’re acting in a movie, you don’t have to audition for other movies. I prefer that.
I can say I’m a relationship person, and I like relationships. I think I also like relationships because then you don’t have to date because dating is horrible.
There are a million little things, but one of the best ways to get to know characters is to just put them in situations and see what they say.
Movies are now more often watched on the small screen anyway. But at least for me, what got lost in that is the difference in the medium.
I’m just a relationship girl. I fall in love and I usually have long relationships. I like getting to know people well and having substantive, long relationships.
Using the energy in a scene can really cut the fat off of something and streamline it. It can make it work for you and activate it for you in a way.
Sometime female characters, especially in the genre of something that people consider rom-com, make mistakes in a cute way or they’re a mess in a way that’s palatable. I like that.
I love just seeing shots of New York inside of a fictional movie that are not controlled. I do not like shots with extras, I have to say. I don’t mind extras in other scenes, but I love New York City streets just as they look. I don’t even care if someone looks at the camera. It doesn’t bother me.
I like people who love books and movies and art and want to talk about it all the time, because that’s basically what I want to talk about. Intellectuals that are funny.
Just because my dreams are different than yours, it doesn’t mean they’re unimportant.
Women. They have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition. And they’ve got talent as well as just beauty. And I’m so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it. But I’m so lonely.
That anger that creates a kind of certainty which is very dangerous that gives way to a little bit of doubt which then uncovers of course there’s pain and then once the pain takes over then this hope of maybe I’ll get back in time and then realizing it’s too late.
We mothers stand still so that our daughters can look back and see how far they’ve come.
I like making films!
