I really loved the script, I thought it was really sweet, smart, and I love John. It was kind of a no-brainer.

I think once I was in high school—I had boyfriends and stuff like that, but I think when I was younger, I went through a period where I looked like a boy, and people thought I was a boy. I guess I was really scarred by that.

Nancy has her vision and she's a formidable force to be reckoned with, and that's similar to most of the male directors I've worked with. The only difference is probably inbetween scenes, gossiping with Diane Keaton, Frances McDormand and Nancy Meyers about who's had Botox and who hasn't.

The thing I noticed about Jack was when we did a reading of the script, just to warm up. There's a whole section of the movie where they're emailing each other and they had a reader who was reading the stage directions, going, "He types, blah blah blah", and Jack was tap-tap-tap [mimes typing] and I was like: 'Oh my God! He's still madly in love with acting!'

Well, my mom is single and we've both been single at the same time over the last ten years, so I really related to the bond between my character and Diane's.
