Well, to aspiring writers, I would tell them that we live in a wonderful time where you're able to make your work visible, easily.

I am actually able to do other things. I'm not just this writer.

People have always wanted to be recognized, and that's human nature. But people used to want to be recognized for their accomplishments, and now they simply want to be visible.

Shoulda gone to China. They give away babies like free iPods. They put them in guns and shoot them out at sporting events.

I don't know why, but I've always been a sucker for roller coasters in movies.

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.

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