I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.

I absolutely relate to being alone in squalor, trying to come up with something adequate. I relate to that, and I've been known to crawl out of bed and drink out of a 2-liter bottle of Diet Coke.

The one thing I have found about Hollywood is it's a town full of people who believe in themselves, often to a degree where they're what you would call "delusional."

Everybody knows that I'm not a snob when it comes to pop culture, obviously. I love reality shows.

'Sweet Valley High' is fantastic, fabulous, a little bit campy, and - dare I say it - cinematic.

A lot of people are concerned with staying physically young...I'm more interested in maintaining my curiosity.

The attitude toward women in this industry is nauseating. There are all sorts of porcine executives who are uncomfortable with a woman doing anything subversive. They want the movie about the beautiful girl who trips and falls, the adorable klutz.
