Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up.

I've never been shot, but this probably what it feels like, that second of nothingness right before the pain catches up to the bullet.

You lost your wife, Douglas. My heartbreaks for you, it really does. But I lose my husband every day, all over again. And I don’t even get to mourn.

Screenwriting you don't necessarily have to do the job of the costume designer and the prop master and the set designer. It's more just about finding the visuals and finding these characters through dialogue.

I'm really not a fan of voiceovers; I think they become a crutch.

Novel writing, to me, is all about language: choosing your words, finding the characters within the words and just really agonizing over every word. It's really crafting this whole piece from nothing.

What it must feel like, I thought, to look at something, anything really, and know that it’s for the last time?
