You can only write, 'Somebody wants something, something else is in their way of getting it.'

I'm not interested in the difference between good and bad, I'm interested in the differences between good and great.

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

When I write something, I want the best director to direct it. And that's not going to be me.

That's a very real feeling - that I don't have a story to tell. I'm not a pure storyteller. I have a tough time with story.

Honestly, I don't try to guess at what most people want. I don't think I'd guess right, and I just think that that's not a good recipe for storytelling. I try to write what I like, what I think my friends would like.

Don't ever forget that you're a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day: civility, respect, kindness, character.
