The radical rightwing pegs Hollywood as a leftist town, which is completely wrong. There are a lot of actors, writers, and directors who talk a liberal agenda... but all the studio bosses, for as long as there have been studios, have all been as far rightwing as you can possibly imagine.

I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.

We give you characters we'd feel very comfortable judging, and then go: 'Oh yeah? Watch this'.

I've lived in America for many years. I mean, I love being a Canadian, but I truly identify with America. I love America so much.

I optioned the magazine article. That was end of 2003. It was a time when the war was incredibly popular here and everyone was driving around with flags on their car, if you remember not too long ago.

I don't think writers should write about answers. I think writers should write about questions.

I’m a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.
