I'm not superstitious in my normal daily life but I get that way about writing, even though I know it's all bullshit. But I began that way and so, that's the way it is. My ritual is I never use a typewriter or computer. I just write it all by hand. It's a ceremony. I go to a stationary store and buy a notebook and then fill it up.

I think that's, it's my way of writing, it's my, it's part of you know for lack of a better word, God-given talent that I have that I'm really good at that kind of dialogue.

I always do an all-night horror marathon on Saturdays where we start at seven and go until five in the morning.

When I'm writing something, I try not to get analytical about it as I'm doing it, as I'm writing it.

I don't have to play the song all the way to the very end - I use it while it's good and while it's cool and while it's exciting, and then I get out.

Sergio Leone was a big influence on me because of the spaghetti westerns.

I want to top expectations. I want to blow you away.
