I'm vegan on home base, but when I travel to other countries, I throw it all into the garbage.

But I'd say 'How to Make It in America' is the most accurate depiction of the New York hipster community on television for sure.
Filmmaking is a huge privilege; it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.
My dad's a Jew, and my mom's a WASP, so that should pretty much say it all. It was a comically dysfunctional family.
I did accents and funny voices for the family when I was growing up.

When you write and direct your own film, you basically know exactly what you want. Or you hope to. For the studio, it actually can make life a little easier, because if you have a bunch of questions, they only need to call one person.
