Naturally, people's image is of a performer, but the reality of it is the writing for me has always been the most important thing and the most rewarding thing.

Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.

You have to create boundaries of space and then you have to create boundaries of time.

I'm very odd 'cause I think there's more than just a materialist planet, a materialist, reductionist planet.

What I've always wanted to do is be as funny as possible.

Too many people confuse being serious with being solemn.

On movies, I like to involve the cast in the writing of the script. I like to have a rehearsal period, after which I do the last draft, which gives me a chance to incorporate anything the actors have come up with during the rehearsal period, so I'm very inclusive as a writer.
