He is the cheese to my macaroni.

The stuff I write isn't strictly autobiographical, but it's personal, if that makes any sense. It draws all these little incidents and people out of my life and then contorts them.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

I've been told that I'm incompetent, socially retarded, maladjusted. I still know that I couldn't function in reality. Los Angeles is a good place for me.

Hollywood is a perpetual summerland, a temperate, godless yaw where the very word 'season' has been co-opted by television executives. There are few harbingers of winter here.

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.

I have a lot of screenwriter friends and many of them have had an experience where they aren't even welcome on set during production.
