I want to write a film. I need to think of the right idea and focus on that; I love writing.

I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.

I would love to dive into an indie film based on the streets of East Los Angeles where I grew up. If that doesn't come my way soon, I think I just might have to write it myself.

I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.

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

There's a personal story of my own that I will write at some point, and it's a film that I will happily make. It could very well be the next thing I do, unless someone shows me something great.

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.

I'd wanted to be a writer and when I came back to New York worked as a musician too, but I found my writing starting to get more and more referential to cinema.

I got into filmmaking in order to tell very personal stories, and in this day and age, the opportunity seems all the more precious.

I just really loved films and thought I should be writing screenplays.
