I'm reading scripts, desperately wanting to work. I've set a couple of things up for next year.

Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.

My job is really to... everyone is reading the script, and my job is to make sure we all interpret it in as much the same way as possible. And then I give them the freedom to sort of - to get their performance across and then make suggestions where things are not working and accentuate and push things where they really are working.

When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.

I read a lot of scripts, and there's a lot of good writing and a lot of OK writing and a lot of crappy writing. And even with the really good writing, it doesn't necessarily speak to me.

A book comes and says, 'Write me.' My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.

I've read some scripts, but I don't read as many books as I should.

I love writing books - I really do. If I could just quit everything and work on a book every day, I would love that most.

I won't work on anyone's else's script. I won't write for anyone else. I write my own stuff and make that when the time is right.
