I think the thing that I wish somebody would ask me is just to ask about the business side of the radio show. I feel like I actually work very hard to make sure the business side of the radio show runs, and no one has any interest in how a public radio show is run. And rightly so.

Honestly, there are so many things about structuring a story for film and telling a story for film that are really different from doing radio.

I can only control what I can control.

I wish somebody had given me the news that ideas don't just fall on your head like fairy dust. You have to treat that like a job. You have to spend hours each day, where you're just like, 'This is the part of the day when I'm looking for an idea.'

I suppose I shouldn't go around admitting I speak untruths on the radio.

You can criticize yourself to a point to do something better, or you criticize yourself to a point where you inhibit yourself.

I dont go looking for stories with the idea of wrongness in my head, no. But the fact is, a lot of great stories hinge on people being wrong.
