Being a working person who works for the studios. It's a minefield and there's tons of stuff you need to know. And people mess it up all the time.

Books are great for if you want to work on the craft of writing for yourself, or, you know, to write novels or indie films, stuff like that.

People love that monkey torture.

I never thought I would write the way that I write for the studios now, which is like, not little novels, but be someone who literally is more like, you know, sometimes I guess we describe, we're more Salieri than Mozart.

The best thing that happened during the filming of Out Cold is that I forged a friendship with Lee Majors that endured for almost 12 weeks.

It's such a great thing to work with people and not have a plan.

You hate to see yourself do one draft of a script and then have somebody else come back in and change what you've done.
