We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.

People's attention spans are a little shorter these days. Same thing with food and movies.

[The lyrics and melody] usually come a little simultaneously, but I would say the lyrics are first; usually I have the idea for a story in my head, or few lines.

Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.

Every couple I know has side-by-side grave plots, but when we do it we're the biggest weirdos on the block.

Movies these days have made killers into funny people. What's that all about? I've got kids and family and friends, and I don't like bad things. I don't think they're funny, and it's irresponsible to make movies that don't show you how that's not good.

Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.
