I've always equated the writing process with editing, sort of like when I get through editing the movie, that's like my last draft of the screenplay.

I've always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.

I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. Failure brings great rewards - in the life of an artist.

But the truth of the matter is, that was fairly, fairly early on in Goebbels' 800 movies that he made in Germany. The majority of them, especially once the war got going, you hardly saw Nazi officers in it at all. They were mostly musicals and comedies and melodramas and stories of great German men from the past.

If I'm on an airplane, a Kate Hudson movie is what I'm looking for. I'll sit there and I'll cry. I think it's the altitude or something like that.

Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart.

That's how it always is with me: the thing that sets me down to start writing is usually not what I end up doing. Because, as much as I love genre, and I try to deliver the goods, I go off from it. I go do my own thing.
