You will never know the exquisite pain of the guy who goes home alone. Cause without the bitter, baby, the sweet ain't as sweet.

I always loved movies, but I never thought I would presume to be a screenwriter and definitely not a director.

The battered idealist. It's just my favorite character ... To me, a hero is somebody who is able to accept the environment of the world, deal with the stuff that's thrown in their path ... and somehow keep their heart.

And I liked that whole idea that energy comes from not disseminating your ideas and talking about them.

People dance and we have a lot of music and... this might be the closet I get for a while.

In the future, everybody is going to be a director. Somebody's got to live a real life so we have something to make a movie about.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.
