I have written two nonfiction books, I'm embarrassed to say.

I'm a classic example of what can happen if you follow your inner voice. I was cursed with interests and some talent in many different areas. It confuses people.

I wanted to be Anthony Hopkins and ended up being neither a film star nor having a career on the stage.

The only difference from one $100 million budget film to another is which of the 12 box stars are getting $20 million to be in it.

You can't leave civilization behind entirely.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

A stage play requires very different craft from a book, fiction or otherwise, and ditto from a screenplay.
