I don't know when I made that active decision to be a writer or to try to write, but I know I always liked storytelling.

Even I haven't downed enough L.A. Kool-Aid to believe that somehow Hollywood movies are an overt instrument of morality.

With fear of stating the obvious: Freedom belongs to 'We the People,' not 'They the Politicians.'

When it comes to fighting for freedom, those who are willing to fight should not be limited by our bigotry. Only rewarded with our gratitude.

There is not a country on earth whose people don't deserve to be free and safe.

Gay marriage will be universally accepted in time. But if I may be so bold as to say to gays and lesbians, don't wait for that time to arrive. Just as my father and his generation did not 'wait' for their civil rights, nor should you. The toothpaste ain't going back in the tube. The tide has turned.

For every horrific event, something beautiful happens.
