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 feel it’s important to talk about the complex issues affecting us. And these are complex issues. I think it’s insulting to an audience to make them sit and watch a film and then give them a message in one sentence.

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

I think that theater is the closest medium to music. It's very pure. It's for the elite of the society. It's not for everyone in the society.

Sometimes we feel like life is like theater, really.

I'm always careful about the thing I'm writing to make sure a viewer can imagine it happening to themselves.

In my opinion when you speak about relationships between people, you are actually talking about everything in their world because everything is contained in that relationship.
