I wish when I was 17, somebody had told me not to care so much about what other people had thought.
Being a parent is beautiful chaos and not at all like how you imagine.
I've always been a fan of horror because I feel like it is one of the last genres where you need to see at a theatre, sharing in this profound experience of seeing it with a community of people.
As a mother, I've seen a lot of animated movies, and, I've got to say, there's so much crap out there for children.
I've been pretending to be normal for so much of my life.
Working, I can be my truest self. I don't know how healthy that is.
I love Viggo Mortensen so much.
I'm really proud of 'Private Life.' It's about a marriage and a couple on the hunt to make a family by any means necessary. They're on such an obsessive quest that, after awhile, you forget that it's even for a baby. It fits right in that middle pocket of being a comedy and a drama.
I live a pretty normal life.
Honestly, I think I was in kindergarten. I remember seeing a play and realizing that was what I wanted to do. I remember always wanting to retreat to my room or somewhere private to play pretend by myself.
I think I was always the class clown.
I'm always in awe of improvisers that make something out of complete nothing.
I think I'm accidentally funny more so than thinking of it as a craft. I'm in awe of those comedians that know how to hit it again and again and again.
I'm always blown away by stand-ups. I'm blown away by people like that who are craftspeople at comedy.
I went to Catholic school for the cheapest private education.
Your creative life can continue to just turn inside out and evolve in ways that you can't possibly imagine, whether or not you decide to be a parent. It doesn't matter.
It really is a biological bummer that a woman's chief moneymaking years align with her most fertile. It sucks. I wish that there was some way you could invert it.
I was a theater nerd.
It's funny: I did 'Step Brothers' the same summer I did 'Revolutionary Road,' which are completely different.
I loved doing 'Bad Moms.' I loved doing 'We're the Millers.' But now that I've tasted complexity, it doesn't matter what the genre is - it would be really hard to go back.
