I'm An Atheist. But I Absolutely Love Religions And The Rituals. Even Though I Don't Believe In God. We Celebrate Pretty Much Every Religion In Our Family With The Kids. They Love It, And When They Say, 'are We Jewish?' Or 'are We Catholic?' I Say, 'well, I'm Not, But You Can Choose When You're 18. But Isn't This Fun That We Do Seders And The Advent Calendar?'

I Don't Like It When Reviews Aren't About The Movie. When They're About How Much Money Somebody Made, Or Who They're Sleeping With, Or If They Got The Job Via Some Connection, Or About How Fox Is Putting X Amount Of Dollars Into It.

When I Go Into The Stores, I Pet The Saddles. Until Security Comes And Takes Me Away.

I Don't Know If You've Ever Seen Some Of The Sidney Lumet Movies, Like Dog Day Afternoon [1975] Or Network [1976]. They're Real Events That Happen In Real Time, And There Are All Of These Different Characters Experiencing The Same Thing In Different Parts Of The Movie ... I Am So Bad At Explaining My Films. But It's In The World Of Finance And The World Of Media, And How They Connect. It Was A Big Undertaking. A Big, Mainstream Movie, Which Stars Julia Roberts And George Clooney. But For Me, It's Really Just A Small Story About Character And People.

When I Went Home, My Family Became A Little Lonely Family Because It Was Just Me And My Mom. Part Of My Longing To Go Back To Work Was Wanting To Be Surrounded By These People Who Were Teaching Me Things And Drinking Bad Coffee At Three In The Morning While We Were Lying Around In A Bikini In The Winter. Somehow It Just Felt Like Real Life. It Felt More Like Real Life Than My Life.

Ninety-five Percent Of Women's Experiences Are About Being A Victim. Or About Being An Underdog, Or Having To Survive... Women Didn't Go To Vietnam And Blow Things Up. They Are Not Rambo.
