I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.

I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.

I don't use my writing career as a vehicle to get me acting work or to write roles for myself.

The exciting thing about today with the Internet, streaming, and YouTube, is you can just go do it. You can go make a short and put it up, and it, very well, may be seen. You can create your own Internet series and just put it out there. It wasn't like that when I was in my 20s. People weren't doing this sort of thing - now they can and they should try it.

My goal isn't so much genre, or fact-based or not fact-based. I just want to work on projects that I think could be great.
