I just feel like there's so many movies I haven't seen that I want to see, that I would never go back to the same one. It's funny because all my friends, they have movies that they've seen over and over again.

The entire culture was organized for people who are happy. People who are miserable need reassurance that other people are miserable.

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

It's not a terribly original thing to say, but I love Raymond Carver. For one thing, he's fun to read out loud.

Where radio is different than fiction is that even mediocre fiction needs purpose, a driving question.

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 would just like say to you with all my heart is that most everybody I know who does interesting creative work, they went through a phase of years where they had really good taste and they could tell what they were making wasn’t as good as they wanted it to be.
