If you've got time to waste, you might as well waste it listening to people.

When I'm happiest writing is just not knowing where it goes and just let the characters bring you there.

My plays are always pushing towards cinema anyway. They're down and dirty, real and more fun.

The fact that ticket prices are way too expensive, and there's only one bunch of people going to see Broadway shows, is something I've never liked.

It's the periods and the commas that you have to forget about. The words never change, but the intonations change.

I never really tell anyone what I'm writing beforehand because I usually don't know what it will be.

I like traveling and I like not being part of the film world. Especially when you're in the middle of a junket, you're thinking, "I'm not doing this again for four years!"That's about taking time and finding the right story and being in a happy place in life where you can joyfully tell a story. I'm not really into the fame side of things, so I'm very happy with making a film every four years or so.
