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.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

You have to really know what you're saying.

Now the idea in the movie world is to make things the same. And in the TV world, the idea is to do something different, so... that's why I'm here!

Well I loved Little League; so all the memories are pretty fond but I broke my thumb. That wasn't a lot of fun. I think probably the first time I pitched [I started out as a first baseman] and the first game I pitched in Little League, I struck out 10 batters. I had a curve ball a little early [laughs]. You're not really supposed to have one when you're 12, but I did, so I first game I struck out 10 batters. That's possibly my fondest memory.

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