Writing is like building a bridge while you're on it. If you step forward you fall off and there's nothing in front of you.

Man, I hate to get depressing on you, but I don't have a game. I'm so alone, so depressed, so dark, no.

When my first daughter was born, I had to figure out a new way of [making music] so that I wouldn't wake her up.

It takes so long to write a script, thinking to yourself, "Am I wasting my time? Am I putting everything into this thing that maybe just won't ever exist?" I always think, God, acting is so much easier. At least for acting you have the source material already.
