I took a lot of writing courses.

I don't think there is anything more bitter in American politics than a close election.

I love the idea of a movie hero in a thriller who is able to get ahead by just his brilliance, and not with a gun or by being an action hero.

The auditioning process is one in which the actor gets very little information about almost every element of it.

Screenwriting is definitely the majority of my time, but I do still act when stuff comes up. I do a few jobs a year.People ask me that all the time about written something for yourself to star in, and it's strange. I just approach it as two separate careers.

I don't see myself directing things I don't write because, to me, directing was just an extension of the writing process.

I have absolutely no musical talent of my own!
