I learned early on that there are all sorts of stories I have no place telling.
People love conversation, and movies are conversations, and an audience has to participate; it has to fill in some blanks.
The better the script, the less money there is. That's just the economics of the studio system.
I feel like there's a certain kind of laughter missing in the world.
I want to write stories that don't help you escape life, but embrace life.
I've always written for actors, and if you want to write for good actors, you have to write parts that are surprising, that are human, and that allow them to go to a wide range of places.
