Sometimes its the crazy people who turn out to be not so crazy.

And I certainly won't lay out areas of my life that I think are just private.

As a producer or financier, you are going to go where you get the best bang for your buck.

One can never take the cynicism one comes across in life too seriously.

The characters created cannot just be a mouthpiece for the writer. When you look at a piece of writing, and it's genuine and it doesn't feel like every character is just a mouthpiece for the writer, but that they've been created in such a way that they're expressing an idea that a writer wants to get across, that's when a story succeeds.

You must find a way to express your ideas and compel your audience to react through the idea itself, and then figuring out what the best representative of that idea may be, and bringing it to life.

Stay true to your brand and true to your voice and audiences will respond to that authenticity with enthusiasm and passion.
