It's hard writing screenplays.

Really, when I write a book I'm the only one I have to please. That's the beauty of writing a book instead of a screenplay.

I can't do a film if I don't start with the writing.

Generally, screenplays suck.

The way you write a screenplay is that you close your eyes and run the movie in your head and then you write it down.

Writing a screenplay is like writing a big puzzle, and so the hardest part, I think, is getting the story.

I haven't really tried to write a movie. It's tough to get into that mode.

I've never read a screenplay in advance. You trust the artist.

I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay. It was probably harder for a regular director. He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started.

I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.
