I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven't done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.

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.

There’s a lot for screenwriters to steal from songwriters, in terms of getting to the point.

Well I'd really love to work with Robert De Niro, because he's still the most talented actor out there.

I remember being taught in school that you would underline things that you liked. I remember just underlining everything as a kid, thinking, 'This has all gotta be important!' I would just underline the whole thing!

I write from my stomach.

Of course, I'm no dummy.
