I'm a fan of Louis C.K., I'm a fan of Lena Dunham. I love shows about people that other people would consider unlikable, or, like, the work of Woody Allen and Albert Brooks.
I hate the crazy, neurotic characters beyond a certain point.
I'm a big fan of Woody Allen. I used to love the fact that he wrote his own screenplay and acted in the movie.
I've been a character actress right from the beginning. I was no more like 'Cinderella' in my real life than I was like the neurotic poet in 'Cop.'
You make films whether they're dramas or comedies about neurotic people. Flawed people. Interesting personality traits. To make them about calm, stable untroubled people isn't interesting.
Well, I think in my first two novels, both the characters are pretty neurotic, which I would say that I am.
Woody Allen is a genius. His films are wonderful. He's poetic, but he's also a critic. He artfully steps back from a social setting and criticizes it without - I suspect - without letting himself be vulnerable to it.
Woody Allen is kind of the one example I don't have. Because the way he works and the amount of shooting time that I did on that film, I didn't really get to know him, so he kind of stays as "Woody Allen" to me.
In a show that has so many neurotic, broken beta characters, it's always fun to bring in a character who's really confident in themselves.
I'm a huge Woody Allen fan. Good movie, bad movie, it doesn't matter - I just like his movies.
I'm a great fan of Woody Allen's movies.
