When I came to know theater, drama became valuable to me.

One of the biggest blessings in my life is that I have a very wonderful family, a lovely wife and two lovely daughters.

Whenever I write a part, I think there's this person somewhere in the world that this part is specifically for and all I have to do is go searching to find that particular individual.

I tend to jot down moments, lines, interactions that don't really make any sense. I try and explain these scattered notes to my close friends, and they become more and more logical. I see screenwriting as a bit like a math equation which I have to solve.

I would have had the same narrative, regardless of the atmosphere and the restrictions.

I gained a great deal from the period during which I worked in theater and I value those things a great deal.

Working with children is very different than the way in which I work with adults. I never tell the children the actual truth of the thing that I want them to act. Although children are really into play and play acting, and this is a major part of their existence, they never actually find the playing or acting of adults credible.
