I can't imagine directing from someone else's script.

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

I never really like it when other writers talk about coming in behind people and rewriting.

Ambiguity depletes as your budget rises.

I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

I spend a lot of time in a sort of free state when I'm writing in the beginning and sketching.

But what I didn't recognize when I was much younger was this sort of...when you're on, when you're really on, go at it.
