I live in Manhattan now, because, in a way, it was my fantasy.

When you find yourself on the Internet when you're supposed to be writing, you've already lost. It's even beyond procrastination when you end up on the Internet.

You can be aware that something is idiosyncratic, and give it to a character, but keep doing it.

Manhattan is so tailored. It's driven by appealing to the very wealthy and tourists.

There's always some generational-guys-hanging-out movie that is made every few years, I think, and some of them are great.

It's near impossible to make a movie in black and white in the system.

I've always felt some kind of connection to people who are kind of over-smart. People who over-think things to the point of some sort of paralysis, and I think that certainly can be me on any given day.
