For every horrific event, something beautiful happens.

I'm sorry, but chick fights are sexy. If you don't think so, you're either an uptight woman or a lying man.

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

I don't think it's good when entertainment tries to proselytize and I don't think people ultimately want someone showing up in their living room and just hectoring at them all day long. But if you can create a space where people are caught up in something - whether it's a drama, a comedy, a romantic comedy, or science fiction - that's when people give over their minds and allow their emotions to flow.

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.

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.

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