Film is a collaborative business: bend over.

Opportunity may knock, but it seldom nags.

You get rich through luck. You get rich through crime. You get rich through fulfilling the needs of another. You can be as greedy as you like. If you can’t do one of those three things, you ain’t going to get any money.

Forget narrative, backstory, characterisation, exposition, all of that. Just make the audience want to know what happens next.

I'm greedy and ambitious like everybody else.

The true writer must write not the acceptable but the true.

I'm not the guy to ask about politics. I'm a gag writer.
