Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.

I have a lot of growing up to do, or a lot of growing down. I think that's probably more appropriate.

I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I hope people don't think I'm crazy, because I'm not.

Michael Jackson and I talk all the time. I think we understand each other in a way that most people can't understand either of us.
