She Was Nice. Nice Is Good.

Sometimes I Don't Like The Books That I'm Reading.

I'm Jewish, And My Family Is Jewish. I Was Very Interested In Woody Allen When I Was Growing Up, But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Jewish Writer. I'm More From Suburbia, American Suburbia. I'm More From The '70s Than I Am From Judaism.

I Think Directing And Writing Are Very Different Jobs. Obviously, Directing Is A More Social And Managerial Job. The Other Thing About Directing Is That It's A Very, Very Pragmatic Job, And Writing Isn't.

The Way I Write Is Very Much Without Kind Of A Goal. I Have Something I'm Interested In And Then I Decide I'm Going To Explore It. I Don't Know Where The Characters Are Going To Go, I Don't Know What The Movie Is Going To Do Or What The Screenplay Is Going To Do. For Me, That's The Way To Keep It Alive.

I Think That People Have Expectations Of Themselves And Other People That Are Based On These Fictions That Are Presented To Them As The Way Human Life And Relationships Could Be, In Some Sort Of Weird, Ideal World, But They Never Are. So You're Constantly Being Shown This Garbage And You Can't Get There.
