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

If you love somebody let them know every day.

I know that I loved music before I loved movies, simply because I didn't see movies as a kid.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.

I'm really influenced by Southern novelists, not many movie people. More like John Faulkner, William Faulkner, Erskine Caldwell, Flannery O'Connor, John Steinbeck, and people like that.

People think you have to be tortured or miserable to write, but I'm finding that I get inspired a lot more these days before I'm happy.

Sometimes we don't want the bad guy to get caught because otherwise the story is over. You want to at least see it through to the end.
