Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone.

My only conclusion about structure is that nothing works if you don't have interesting characters and a good story to tell.

I think of myself as a real writer, not just someone who dabbles in it, so I deserve some credit.

My characters aren't losers. They're rebels. They win by their refusal to play by everyone else's rules.

There's a personal story of my own that I will write at some point, and it's a film that I will happily make. It could very well be the next thing I do, unless someone shows me something great.

As an actor, you're completely at the mercy of other people. You basically go begging for the opportunity to work. As a writer, at least nobody can tell me what to do. I can write what I want. I might not sell it, but at least I'm in control.

I'm thinking of doing a marital comedy for one of the studios, but I want it to be so painful that it'll have a profound effect on married couples who see it together.
