Everything I've written is personal - it's the only way I know how to write.

She was nice. Nice is good.

I think if I've worked anything through with screenwriting it's that I'm not going to be able to work anything through.

I wanted to deal with someone's idea of their relationship.

Everything is more complicated than you think. You only see a tenth of what is true.

Say who you are, really say it in your life and in your work. Tell someone out there who is lost, someone not yet born, someone who won’t be born for 500 years. Your writing will be a record of your time. It can’t help but be that. But more importantly, if you’re honest about who you are, you’ll help that person be less lonely in their world because that person will recognise him or herself in you and that will give them hope.

My time on the set is the least of my involvement. Most of my time is in pre-production and post-production.
