Quote

I was born into a world in which the most compelling stories are through film. But that wasn't always the case. Everything changes; everything evolves.

I love movies. Movies have influenced me as a writer.

I really want to do film, but I want to do the right film. The truth for me is that I'm really driven by stories. So there are stories I want to tell, and if it's a good story then I want to do it, whatever genre it is.

I've seen many, many movies over the years, and there are only a few that suddenly inspire you so much that you want to continue to make films.

I love movies. And I dig a great love story: the kind that wrecks me, then builds me back up and leaves me inspired. I write what I want to see.

I only make movies that are interesting to me.

All of my films have been autobiographical - it's all I've got to go on.

I always choose my movie because of a director and a story and a, a character.

I've never written a movie, I'm not in the movie business. I go out to L.A. and I'm like everyone else wandering around in a daze hoping I see movie stars. I write the novels that the movies are based on, and that feels like enough of a job for me.
