Even though I am in this weird position of being a semi-recognizable screenwriter, which isn't that common, at the same time, I'm not an actress. I'm pretty isolated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a writer. I'm not an actress.
I always loved movies, but I never thought I would presume to be a screenwriter and definitely not a director.
I'm a playwright who gets involved in movies when I'm not writing a play.
Being a professional screenwriter is perhaps the hardest occupation. Because nothing is ever yours and, by the nature of the medium, you are never ultimately responsible for your work. It can be interesting - if you have another outlet.
I worked as an actor for many years. Then I segued to some non-fiction writing.
I had never thought of myself as a director and found out that I was not. I am a writer who was able to direct the films that I write.
Since I began making movies, I've always looked for screenwriters instead of going through the long and painful process of writing.
I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.
I'm an actor more than anything else.
For most of my career, I've played roles that were written for other actresses.
