I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility.

Thanks a heap coyote ugly. This cactus-gram stings worse than your abandonment.

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

Nobody comes to Minnesota to take their clothes off, at least as far as I know.

I don't know if I have some kind of defiance disorder or something, but if I'm hired to write something by "The Man," or by a studio, for whatever reason, it's really hard for me to finish. I inevitably wind up using that time to write something else.

The Rolling Stones are so versatile, they're like the band version of that Infinite Dress they sell on QVC.

Stripping toughened my hide, but exposing myself as a writer has been a lot more brutal.
