I wrote a play once called 'Lobby Hero,' which I thought turned out very well, but there's no final version of it. I published the one we produced, but there are seven other versions with different variations sitting in my desk at home.

I'm always struck when I go somewhere I've never been before, especially if it's in my home town, by just how different the atmosphere can be, and how disorienting it can be - especially if there's any kind of trouble.

Little kids grow up discovering the world that's shown to them and then when you become a teenager, it kind of shrinks a little bit. I think when you get past that point, one of the important things is that you see there is more to the world than yourself.

It's not a character flaw to become an adult.

I was nearly a teen-ager before I stopped assuming that everyone I met was Jewish.

I actually think storyboards are great. I don't draw well enough to do them myself. I've only used storyboards a couple of times.

I feel like if you can describe something fully and accurately, then people will be able to see it themselves - they don't need be told what to.
