I was listening to Tommy Chong talking about how he feels like there is like a creative flow happening and how certain people just know how to hook into the pipe. He played music with Jimi Hendrix and felt that he was personally connected to some higher intelligence or creativity.

In the writing, I'm just trying to go deeper, emotionally, and learn more about myself and reveal more and find a way to connect with people in new ways.

If the movie's not communicating, it's not working.

The little details really connect for people in ways I never realized before.I think that's why some of the movies have done well, because people are relating to things that I'm willing to expose.

It's what I always dreamed of: that you can make TV and everyone would get out of your way and you follow your vision without watering it down.

Literally, my last call was with David Blaine, congratulating him on his show. I have a camaraderie with David.

You know, I'm a big comedy fan.
