I couldn't direct because I'm too impatient and I couldn't put together a package because I don't understand money. I'd rather just do what I'm doing.

Why do I write? I guess that's been asked of every writer. I don't know. It isn't any massive compulsion.

I find dictating in the mass media particularly good because you're writing for voice anyway; you're writing for people to say a line and, consequently, saying a line through a machine is quite a valid test for the validity of what you're saying.

I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.

Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.

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

a basic “must” for every writer: A simple solitude-physical & mental.
