I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.

I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.

I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.

In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.

If I ever feel that acting is just soul-sucking and I don't want to do it anymore, I could stop.
