I've had to deal, a lot, with my own sense of intimidation at meeting famous people - especially actors, but really any famous people.

We're all subjective beings and trapped in our own realities and our own biographical stories and physical bodies and our histories - and that's the only way we can experience the world.

I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves.

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

I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it.

Meet me in Montauk.

I graduated from college in 1980.
