If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

The other thing is even the Jews in the course - even though metaphorically aligning themselves with Indians, and, you know, you have genocide aligning itself with another genocide.

Everybody always talks about the science fiction genre, in particular, which always makes me think about people in spaceships. I can appreciate that, but that's not really where I think my dramatist aspect lies.

When I'm writing in my bedroom, in a bar, at my kitchen table or wherever, I'm conjuring it all up on the page. That's all well and good, but it is going to be a limited perspective at that point and time. Occasionally, what I write might read really well initially, but then you change your mind while hunting for locations when you discover settings which offer even better opportunities for drama or dramatic staging.

I actually think one of my strengths is my storytelling.

I will never do Pulp [Fiction] 2 but having said that, I could very well do other movies with these characters.

I've always wanted to work with Warren Beatty.
