I've been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.

I usually try not to think about actors while writing, because the odds of those stars aligning and you getting those specific people are so rare.

When I do encounter young women or aspiring filmmakers who tell me that I've inspired them or that my work means something to them, that's amazing. That's really exciting!

Los Angeles is often described as the nadir of vapidity, a smog-choked space cradle.

I've never even seen a great set fight or a great set meltdown. I seem to always be on these incredibly relaxed sets.

If this whole writing thing doesn't work out, I'll be getting right back on the pole.

Tabloid photos capture people at their most self-conscious and disoriented; in real life, Paris Hilton is like an elegant paper crane.
