It might be more difficult because you haven't got a book or a prop, but for the most part I like to write unpaid... initially and my own stories.

The real beauty in my professional experience has been friendships and collaborations with filmmakers.

You don't really work together with Clint Eastwood. I mean, he takes the script and he shoots it - and he shoots it very faithfully.

You can only do the best you can in the minute that you're doing it.

I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.

A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.

I never go back over something I've done and I never watch them again.
