I am an obsessive flyer, myself.

Filmmaking is a completely imperfect art form that takes years and, over those years, the movie tells you what it is. Mistakes happen, accidents happen and true great films are the results of those mistakes and the decisions that those directors make during those moments.

When it comes to casting, I've been so lucky. I've worked with unbelievable actors who make me look better than I am and take the written word and make it honest.

Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that.

I'd done table reads for my own screenplays, and I always thought they were so much fun. Why couldn't we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life? You can experience live theater, where you get to see plays produced by different directors and different casts, but there's really nothing like that for movie scripts.

When I write a film, all I think about is where the thing ends and how to get the audience there.

It’s funny, I can sit through the worst horror film ever made! But even a quite good romantic comedy.
