I think that scripts should be published, but they are published, really, because when you're a screenwriter, your stuff ends up in samizdat form on thousands and thousands of desks and shelves across the industry.

I don't like scripts leaking. On the other hand, the more real attention a script gets, the better.

I hate doing anything in offices. I either want to be out in the world or in my own environment - and it should be your own environment that you work in.

I was always entirely about work, about getting where I am now. If I'm not working I'm thinking about it, though at some point I learned not to talk about it very much.

Wisdom is not having illusions, especially anything in your own mind that elevates you above others.

I think that gambling is a synthetic experience and that if you have any balls you gamble with your life. I have. So can everybody else.

If TV seems improved, I think it's been enhanced by violence and sex permissible on cable, as well as better cinematography, but in the end it's really only soap operas like your grandmother's afternoon "stories" and that's all it wants to be or has to be.
