I love editorial and sound and music, and I was working with the best people, so you learn a lot.

I never viewed screen drama as a vulgar form, or a lesser one, and I've never written it left-handed.

I'd been working so hard making the film that I hadn't even emotionally processed the fact that I was a director.

When I was young I was only thinking of writing, and whatever was going on was unreal and comparatively unimportant.

If you decide to do Hamlet in a funny hat staged in a ruined factory, it doesn't make you Shakespeare.

But the web is to some degree a broth of psychopaths seeing what they can get away with in circumstances of anonymity. Look, we live in a world where one is unsafe in various ways because of the Internet. Anything can be said. Someone can look at your house from space.

Getting the correct writer is simply like casting. You wouldn't hire an actor in order to tell him how to work. He knows how to work, which is why you hired him.
