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

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

Judy Blume excels at describing how it feels to be invisible. So how poetic is it that Blume herself is suddenly everywhere?

When you're in a competitive environment, always give out the impression that you don't care. It makes people want you more. If you act desperate, it's over. I think a passive attitude is helpful. It comes naturally because I'm lazy.

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

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