Quote

As an actor, you're tied to the writing. You live and die by what's written for you. And you can elevate that to a certain extent, but really, that's your blueprint.

There's more pressure as a writer. As an actor you usually just go, do your job, and go home.

As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.

I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.

I feel like everything you learn as an actor growing up is wrong. You're supposed to hit your mark, find your light and know your lines. Those are all things that just make things wooden, dull and boring.

I try not to think of actors as I'm writing because I think you do them a disservice by writing for things they've already done.

To be a great actor you just need to comprehend, so that's why I became a writer.

Everything I learned as an actor, I have basically applied to writing.

When people give you a writing assignment, they're asking what you think. That's the very opposite of being an actor. When you're an actor, no one wants to hear what you think.

Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
