It turns out that good actors can make anything believable.

We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.

You don't make a film because the audience is ready for it. You make a film because you have questions that are in your gut.

I just always try to find an interesting story and tell it well. That's a hard enough thing to do, whether it's a piece of fiction or it's a small piece of reality. I just look for good story.

Unless I'm really uneasy with what I'm writing, I lose interest very quickly.
