Crazy is so hard to play, there's nothing you can really tell an actor.

I don't get a sense of American pride. I just get a sense that everyone is here, battling the same thing - that around the world everybody's after the same thing, just some minor piece of happiness each day.

I don't miss scenes at all the way that I used to miss them when I was younger making a film. It's actually quite fun to get rid of them now.

I write from my stomach.

I've never been a fan of whimsical or confusing storytelling.

My writing has a lot to do with who I am, and what my life is like, and my relationships to people.

Of course, I'm no dummy.
