I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.
Sometimes I feel that the people I'm writing are more real to me than the people around me. When you take that imaginative leap, you're living so much in that world.
People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.
I really love people. I love to meet people. I'm curious about people.
In New York you can just walk out and be among people. You're on the subway among people, you go to cafes, you can talk to people.
I always wrote. My parents are writers. It just seemed like something people did.
Too often in the theatre people can't wait for intermission to get some chocolate or something. But with Come Back, Little Sheba I just hope people leave feeling like they've spent a really good two-hours in that house with us.
When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say "what people don't know won't hurt them."
