A certain giving up of control is good for the soul.

In theater, the playwright is the boss, period. The decisions will go through him or her. In movies, the writer is pretty far down on the list.

I never know what the hell I'm writing about, I never know what the next thing I'm writing about is, I never have a plan.

My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love.

I don't know what it says about me that I have a greater affinity with the damaged. Probably nothing good.

I said to my wife just the other day, I was actually taking some time to consider all the blessings in my life and that things are really good. I said, you would have to be a real churl to complain about the life I'm living right now. Everything's going great. I'm having a good time.
