At the end of the day, I think the only way to do the kind of job a writer does is push everything aside and just ultimately sit down and do the work.

I'm always working on something. I wish I had more time for free-thinking and brainstorming new ideas. That's not to say my mind doesn't wander, but I find myself wishing for more of that kind of time.

At some point if you're a professional writer, no matter what, it always comes down to you staring at the blank page by yourself.

There should be nothing I can't live without.

Time has a certain current to it, and it wants to flow in a certain direction.

Probably the biggest challenge is actors, no matter how talented the actor is they don't have the capability of being in more than one place than one particular time, which is very vexing.

When I first started writing, I had a very difficult time switching between projects, but now it's not only second-nature, it's indispensable: If I stall on one project, I can switch to another and stay productive.
