I don't like nihilistic characters. As bad guys they're great, but as heroes they don't work.

The more work you put in on your outline and getting the skeleton of your story right, the easier the process is later.

I just go with what excites me.

Some people like when it rains a lot. Some people like sunshine. The idea that there's one, all encompassing afterlife is strange. It doesn't seem to make sense because we're all such different people.

It's so rare that you meet your idols and they outdo your expectations.

In a weird way, it's much easier, when I don't have to worry about being a writer, to just worry about the director job, which is really fun.

I do love writing but it is a lonely profession. You're lonely and optimistic at the same time.
