I'm not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies.

I think when you're writing prose there's a lot of attendant description and that's were I used to really go bananas. With a screenplay that all gets filled in by the director, so it just sort of pulls you back by virtue of the form. You also have to use more economy as a screenwriter and so it's kind of limiting in a good way.

It's actually much harder to develop a TV show than I had anticipated.

Now '90210' is returning with an all-new cast of slightly more plausible teens. I'll be honest: I wish the old cast was back. Ideally, this spin-off would be an Ice Storm-esque exploration of the West Beverly gang's bleak adult lives.

Jeez banana! Shut your freaking gob!

My boyfriend is Italian and from New Jersey, so naturally he was thrilled to meet Joe Pesci.

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.
