I'd like to, when it's all said and done, say that I have at least a few stories that I feel proud of.

Kids accept where they are because they don't know the past. They know what they have; they know where they are.

In 2016 we are faced with a particularly bizarre and unappetizing choice as regards the two main political parties' presidential candidates, in my opinion.

If you don't find some way to discuss what's going on inside you, it can come out in other ways that are self-destructive.

There are people that grandstand and seem to be publicly politically engaged because they like the attention, more than because they're genuinely concerned about the world. But I don't think that's the majority.

It's true that I have a wide range of interests. I like to write and paint and make music and go walking on my own and garden. In fact, gardening is probably what I enjoy doing more than anything else.

I'm an optimist; I always hope that each new script is going to be a great story.
