As a matter of writing philosophy, if there is one, I try not to ever plot a story. I try to write it from the character's point of view and see where it goes.

When I sit down to write, I don't think about writing about an idea or a given message. I just try to write a story which is hard enough.

I write and draw from the gut. I often don't know what my stories are about until they're done.

I like to think that I am telling a story rather than writing it.

I never believed I could write anything. No way - write a whole story? Figuring out all that plotting and symbolism? How do you foreshadow things?

I like to allow a story to arise as I'm writing scripts. I find it horrible when I try to think of something for the plot without really being on the ground and seeing where it goes.

I love to write what I see and what I do and what I experience, and I like to see if people can relate to that. I don't know if I am as good at making up a story in my head that has no truth to it, so that is a challenge for me.

I've been writing stories, in one form or another, since I was a kid.

I know that to write you have to have stories you want to tell. You have to keep your mind alive, and you have to work hard.
