You never want your second act or the whole movie to just be this relentless march towards its goal. You want things to take the audience by surprise.

Who you think you are is only a thought.

The way you think either stands in your way or assists you in achieving your goals.

Working at Pixar has been like my graduate school for screenwriting.

Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.

My thing is that most scripts arent bad scripts, theyre just not finished yet.

One of my favorite films is LATE SPRING by Yasujiro Ozu. To me, it represents film as art.
