I want to make, like, 8,000 movies.

This 'one big plan' thinking leads to a lot of the problems we're facing.

My parents have always been very supportive. I didnt go to school because my home was my school.

When I was little, I went to a Jewish community day school for most of elementary school.

I love clothes. No brands want to dress me.

Preston Sturges is one of my favorites. I learned about dialogue and timing from him - louder, faster, funnier. But I do love Mel Brooks.

I wrote two plays before I was cast on The Neighbors. They actually got published, which was cool.

Im a truly loved kid, and hopefully it will make me a happier adult.

I wrote and directed a movie called Two-Bit Waltz.

A woman who writes has power, and a woman with power is feared.

You are what you do, not what you say you'll do.

Though man needs to live to believe, he does not need to believe to live.

My only thought was to keep him away from Annabeth.

The thrill of terror is passive, masochistic, and implicitly feminine. It is imaginative submission to overwhelming superior force.

When you're so drawn to art, to making pictures and looking at art, it's really all you want to think about.

Judaism tells us in many ways how to listen and say 'Hinneni', I am here.

The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.

Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every country in Europe.

Even as a kid, my memories are of books taking me out of myself.
