I like for people to figure things out for themselves. It's not like I have the right answer, but if I have a visceral reaction to something, I'm sure that other people will, too.

I don't think screenwriting is therapeutic. It's actually really, really hard for me. It's not an enjoyable process.

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