My girlfriend's a costume designer in the theater.

The film is made in the editing room.

I had insecurities and fears like everybody does, and I got over it. But I was interested in the parts of me that struggled with those things.

I think Magnolia is one of the best films I've ever seen and I can say that straight and out and anybody that disagrees with me I'll fight you to the death. I just think it is one of the greatest films I've ever been in and ever seen.

Plays never feel like the right thing to do at the time.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too.
