No one should feel sorry for a successful screenwriter.

Once a film costs a certain amount of money, things have to round off.

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

I think what I've recognized over the years is that I'm very, very bingey, extremely bingey when it comes to writing.

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

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

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