I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

Seriously, I don't consider myself a writer. I don't think I have writing talent. But I will continue to do it.

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

From my vantage point in writing a story, I can't and don't and have no interest in thinking about the level of sophistication of the audience. I can only think about what interests me, and maybe what I would want to see if I were watching the movie. To me, that's the key to writing something that's not pandering.

Why do I fall in love with every woman I see that shows me the least bit of attention?

I'm trying to tell a story and do it truthfully.

I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.
