Developing films with directors, developing films with actors, is a poor percentage play for a screenwriter.

I like emotions, but I really don't like sentimentality, and I don't like when things break their spell.

No one can help you write. No one can teach you how to write.

I don't remember writing anything until I wrote my college application.

Fear changes everything. We're animals, and when we get afraid we act like animals. I'm not exempt from that.

A reversal is just anything that's a surprise. It's a way of keeping the audience interested.
