There's something touching about a kid who's reading a book that's printed on actual paper. I think that anything that kids start reading, within reason, can lead to other discoveries.

I learned to choose my battles. Sometimes I let my producer deal with something that I didn't want to deal with.

I like movies that are about real people in real time with real problems.

I distinguish sentiment from sentimentality. Sentimentality makes your skin crawl. It's like too much sugar. But, sentiment is a great feeling.

I really like to travel when I write. Something about seeing new things and being in new cultures and environments provokes new thoughts in your head.

I tend to read things that are a little more on the nourishing side. But if I don't enjoy something, I'll put it down.

I feel comfortable with women. I have two sisters, so I grew up in a female-dominated environment.
