The guy who wins the Oscar for Best Actor has a much higher bar to clear than the woman who wins best actress.

I think it's up to writers to write stuff that is compelling enough that people want to watch.

As an audience member, I like the sound of something that's been written - I like it to sound written. And then, of course, you can't do it without the musicians who can play it.

I want to convey that I'm crazy about the Kardashians - but I'm not sure which is which.

I don't think I write differently when I'm writing a screenplay, as opposed to a stage play or a teleplay. Maybe if I were in a film class and there was time to think about it, we could point out differences.

Any time you get two people in a room who disagree about anything, the time of day, there is a scene to be written. That's what I look for.

The thing I know how to do most is write a play. I came up loving plays and learning about plays and writing plays. I actually feel like an outsider when I'm writing movies and television.
