I took a lot of writing courses.

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.

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 wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.

Idealism loses to pragmatism when it comes to winning elections.

Certainly, for me, and it's gone this way on every project I've worked on, the "writing" never ends until you're done with the movie.

I studied voice for about two years with an amazing coach, and I never rose above the level of mediocre.
