My favorite movie of all time is 'Rocky.'

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 been the guy who doesn't necessarily get it with women. A woman would have to say, 'I like you, I want to go out with you, you can ask me.' And still I would question it. Did she mean it?

I'm not a gay man, but I will say this: I get it now. I know what all the hype is about.

Sometimes I make my life a living hell by writing complex stories with complex characters. But I love it.

I never played music, but it's an important thing ... the studying, the inspiration.

From there, I tried out for a community theatre play, joined an improv group... it all started opening up.
