I hope there's some kind of morality in all my work.

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

I think if you're writing a play, it should be its own end game; you'll never get to do a good one unless you know it's not a blueprint for a film; you're not going to get the action right and the story right.

When you've got good actors, they're going to come up with good stuff, but you're never quite sure how the dynamics are going to work between them.

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

'Pulp Fiction' is an amazing film, and I haven't made one nearly as good.

I think as a writer you never have to flee from fame because you're not that visible in the first place, but, after the Broadway success of 'Beauty Queen,' people were coming up to me all the time, and I wasn't really prepared for that level of attention.
