The best thing you can give me is your time. The easiest way to get me angry is to waste my time.

I liked to think I had written 'scripts' when I was in high school, but looking back at them, they were about thirty pages of wannabe-Mamet dialogue with a staple through them.

I'm from Jersey, so I have a love of T.G.I. Friday's and chain restaurants in general. When you go to a Friday's, it seems like everyone's on ecstasy and way too happy anyway.

Routine is part of coping.

It's really hard as a screenwriter, you feel like you have a vision and then you turn it over to a director and you have to let it go.

For me, modern technology has ruined romance and movies - nobody can run to the airplane gate anymore.

I'm a person that thinks time is very precious and our only commodity... It's so upsetting when I feel like something has wasted my time.
