I don't have close relationships with agents. They're friends, but they're not confidants.

Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself.

Every writer is a frustrated actor who recites his lines in the hidden auditorium of his skull.

It's part of the business of really not caring about topping myself because I really don't care what's going to happen. I think just surviving is a major thing. I'd like to write something that my peers, my colleagues, my fellow writers would find a source of respect.

I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.

Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.

The writer's no different. When he's rejected, that paper is rejected, in a sense, a sizeable fragment of the writer is rejected as well. It's a piece of himself that's being turned down.
