I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.

I don't know how anybody gets better at anything aside from doing it.

Whenever somebody says they need an angle for their story I always fear that they've got an idea and they want me to fit into it or they want me to come up with an idea myself or I'm supposed to be more revealing than I've been, and to me it just sounds like something I don't want to do.

Feelings come and go, unless you don't feel them. Then they stay, and hurt, and grow pear-shaped and weird.

I understand the self-loathing and the resentment, and the discipline that it takes to sit down in front of a typewriter or computer every single day, whether it's going well or not going well.

Becoming an actor made me way more interested in plot.

I also watch a lot of really bad television when I'm writing, "Like Dancing With the Stars," with my daughter.
