Success

It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.

Relationship

I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.

Relationship

I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.

Relationship

My parents are artists in their world in the world of modern artists you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.

Positive

Positive healthy loving relationships in your twenties… I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is or they're avoiding commitment altogether.

Poetry

You know bad poetry I wrote in high school can still be found on the Internet and you know there's a Web log of our college newspaper. You know there's so many different stages of my creative development are sort of on-record if somebody were to choose to look for them.

Movies

I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.

Mom

I'm ridiculous in my oversharing my mom and sister are very open but a little more judicious than me… and my father is a decidedly private person.

Hope

I just hope that I continue to keep a line between my private life and who I play even if they are closely intertwined and so I'm careful. I don't even know where my line is but I know I have a line.
