The thing that I'm most in love with is the thing that I'm writing at the moment.

As we go through life our relationship with our own mortality and our inevitable demise increases.

If you have distance from the events, then your story can work as an analogy or parable, rather than its literal narrative.

Movies feel like work, and reading fiction feels like work, whereas reading nonfiction feels like pleasure.

We give each other a wide berth even if we have the flu, let alone... So, I think that's part of the stigma that people who have diseases suffer. It's almost infectious... if somebody is closer to death, they're almost a bad omen and I think that's terrible.

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

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.
