I love meeting people who have absolutely no sense of irony. It's really fascinating to imagine what it would be like to go through life without understanding even the most basic of ironies.

As I am sure you know, when people say 'It's my pleasure,' they usually mean something along the lines of, 'There's nothing on Earth I would rather do less.' [...]

I find reading screenplays difficult, as they're only a roadmap for what a movie might end up being.

The worst surroundings in the world can be tolerated if the people in them are interesting and kind.

Why not rise from the grave and terrorize a little instead of staying buried and dead in the cemetery?

It's funny, particularly when you're a writer and you're doing well, you have that sense of like, "Oh! My view of the world is the one that's going to be published."

The only thing he cares about.
