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

The independent film business is pretty much gone. Now you can do it in a format where you actually get to develop a character over a period of time.

To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.

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.

Songwriting and screenwriting aren't that different to me.

When I was coming up, if you were on a TV show, that meant something was wrong with your career. Now it means something's right with your career.

People always like stories about the little guy fighting the big guy.
