When you're around your family, and you have that history and that shared language, you say things you'd be embarrassed to hear quoted back to you later.

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

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.

Friends of friends had bands in college or in their early 20s and had a moment where they had some kind of interest from a record label or manager. It's always interesting how people handle those decisions and those moments.

I'm always looking for overlooked post-Dylan singer-songwriter records from the '70s.

I'm interested in music as an extension of character.

I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
