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.

There's this part of Judaism that I like. Tikun Alum. It said that the world is broken into pieces and everyone has to find it.

In the '90s there were these great end of the world movies like 'Armageddon' and 'Deep Impact'... I always liked the idea of what people on the ground are doing, not so much the people who are trying to stop the world from ending.

No texting. What happens then? Good old-fashioned letters.

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.

I think when you take forever off the table, it does something really interesting to what you think is important.

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