There are two kinds of people, those who like to sleep next to the wall, and those who like to sleep next to the people who push them off the bed.

It's kind of a reflex for me to ignore my own wishes and think about other people first.

As the son of Holocaust survivors, this is life - you're put in a corner, and you have to get out. I believe that you can always get out.

When I write, I never know the endings. What I think works in [my] stories is the fact that when I write, I really want to find out what is going on-I'm writing for myself as a reader. It's like when you dream a dream. I want to know what's behind the door. If I navigate, it's from a place that's totally intuitive.

Often, the stories are very much like trust falls. You fall, and you hope the story's going to catch you.

I always have a story in my head that needs to be written, or at least I think I do. But I usually can't find the time to write it.

I think tone gives birth to the story.
