The truth is, I just don't have that much time to see movies. So if I get two hours where I can actually see a film, I don't want to go backwards, I want to go forwards.

The most important possible thing you can do is do a lot of work.

Don't wait till you're older, or in some better job than you have now. Don't wait for anything. Don't wait till some magical...idea drops into your lap. That's not where ideas come from. Go looking for an idea and it'll show up. Begin now.

Everything is more compelling when you talk like a human being, when you talk like yourself.

I didnt have any particular talent for fiction. I took a class in college.

I think good radio often uses the techniques of fiction: characters, scenes, a big urgent emotional question. And as in the best fiction, tone counts for a lot.

I wish that someone had said to me that it's normal to feel lost for a little while.
