The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.

Now my drug is writing or acting, being creative.

To me, theater is the mecca; if you really love to act, that's where it's the most fun, by a long shot.

Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.

I'm kind of like the goofy number-seven guy in a lot of movies.

But with writing, all you need is a pad of paper.

I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid.
