When people wear shoes that don't fit them, it says something about their soul. Generally, I think it means they are good people.

Nowadays the movies that people are going to see in the theaters are the big-event movies, like Spider-Man or something, or they're 25-year-old models who are vampires, or they're very broad comedies, or they're standard action movies. So if you're going to work for a studio and do a movie for the budget that the movie needs, those are the kinds of movies you'll be in.

Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.

My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

If you look at a character as a mountain over there that you have to climb, then I think you've lost 50 percent of the air.

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