When I start a movie, there will be certain films that I watch again just because the vibe seems right.

I don't like when you necessarily know that this is the end of the movie. I like when a movie ends abruptly. You go through this, and some of the scenes are uncomfortable, and some are funny - and then suddenly it's over.

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.

A film set becomes its own family anyway, and all family dynamics come out during a shoot. The trick is hiring people who know how to handle that.

I try to write 'and it's all very funny' after each scene description so that the reader can imagine the movie in their head.

Being articulate, my parents could make anything sound reasonable.

I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
