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.

As I have got older and become a father, there's less and less time for films.

If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you'd be the first person in the history of the world.

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

I have a feeling, one of those gut feelings, that I'll make pretty good movies the rest of my life.

Screenwriting is like ironing. You move forward a little bit and go back and smooth things out.
