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

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

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

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.

A lot of times, we're just sold these movies that are really cynically conceived and marketed, and they just want you there opening weekend, before everybody finds out it's not so good.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.
