I understand politicos gotta make bank. But cloistering with the Hollywood elite is not how you prove you're a man of the people.

We all hope that the police and prosecutors are objective. That's their job, but sometimes it's not true.

You can treat faith as part of people's it's lives.

As a writer, as a storyteller, you have to have your emotions close, and the older I've gotten, the less I've worried about not displaying emotions.

At an early age, I knew there were a lot of things I couldn't do. My father was a doctor, and my mother was a teacher. I knew I wasn't good in numbers, and I knew I wouldn't work well in overly structured environments.

We see films all the time, whether they have access to all kinds of intellectual property or artifacts, and the one thing that they don't get is story. So I think whether you're talking about a biopic or an action film or a science-fiction film that has all the CGI in the world, if you're not trying to connect with an audience, it doesn't really matter.

I've no desire to start a movement, to be the first name on an open petition, or to be the poster child for disgruntled writers.
