One man's uplift is another man's sentimental hooey.

I kicked college nostalgia in my late 20s. As much as I loved college and treasure the memories, I no longer want to go back.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

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

The reflexive allergy to L.A. that a lot of New Yorkers have, I feel like it's kind of nonsense.

One of the secrets to life is saying yes to change and allowing things to transition, but I also think you have to mark the time and give thanks for all that it gave you.

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.
