I write flawed characters. Ones that do not always make the best decisions and are driven by ambition or lust. They are not black or white, they are in the large space that exists between.

I've always had something in my heart where I root for guys who struggle with women.

Thanksgiving, man. Not a good day to be my pants.

You've got to go after your dreams. If you don't make an effort, nothing's ever going to change.

I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously.

Just me onstage with a mike having an intimate relationship with the audience. I don't get nervous for that. I just get excited.

I want to do movies that I'm proud of where my kids, at some point, can see and I can feel comfortable sitting there watching it with them. And just that move people. That make people feel a little bit better about themselves when they leave the theatre.
