I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

The combination of what's written and just being in the moment is always the best way. You gotta start out with something solid and then you play.

Usually you regret the things you say no to.

Every character is a baby. You can't choose between them. If you can, you didn't do your job. You have to fall in love with every character.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

I'm not always looking for the laugh. I'm not the guy who sits in and listens to conversations and wants to jump in with something hilarious every two seconds. I actually do listen to people.
