I've Never Been Compared To Bugs Bunny

The Only Reason I Acted In School Was Because Of The Community. I Was In The Chorus Of Every Play And Was Never The Lead Other Than One Time, But To Me It Was About The Community. I Was An English Major And My Whole Goal Was To Be An English Teacher And Was Lucky Enough To Get Into The Playwriting Group. The Whole Experience I Had At Brown Was Eye Opening And The Most Mind-bending Experience.

My Favorite Thing Is Watching People Watch The Hollars Movie And Then Come Up To Me And Say Whether They Went Through An Experience Like That Or They Went Through An Experience Nothing Like That, But It Still Was Their Mom Or "that Was My Brother" Or Whatever It Was - That's Great.

In A Lot Of Relationships, When You're An Adult, You Realize That You've Actually Just Been Repeating A Pattern. When Someone Breaks That Pattern And It Makes You Realize What's Right Or Wrong About The Person. When You Actually Have To Confront It, That's Probably Why A Lot Of Adult Relationships Don't Survive.

I Don't Think I've Ever Signed Onto Anything As Quickly As I Did The Hollars, Because I Come From A Really Loving, Well-connected Family, Where We See Each Other All The Time. And When I Was Done With This Script, I Was Like, "oh My God, That's My Family!" This Is Obviously A Very Dysfunctional Family, But There Was Something About It That Was Sort Of Universal. And I Think That In This Day And Age In Today's World - There's A Lot Of Drama Out There. It's Nice To Tell Stories About Things As Simple And Powerful As Family.

That Was Okay [ Working With George Clooney]. One Of These Days I'll Work With A Good Director.
