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

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

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

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

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

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.

I like knowing where I am in action sequences if I'm supposed to.
