When something really extreme happens, you have to find a way to embrace that and include it in how you think about the character. Sometimes it's not easy.

Because I don't take money, I'll go anywhere and do a benefit concert with almost any orchestra.

Something happens to us all when we experience something as a unit that doesn't occur when we're on our couches or holding our little portable DVD players.

It's really important to stay engaged and involved in the character.

We lament the speed of our society and the lack of depth and the nature of disposable information.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

Very often when I go in to meet for movies or pilots, I'm put on videotape. I hate the notion that that tape is going to sit on a shelf and never get better.
