I spend so much time on the screen when I am writing, the last thing you want to do is spend more time on the Internet looking at a screen. That's what I hate about all this technology.

I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways.

My goal is to make the viewer a little bit smarter.

Writing old school HTML code was never very much fun but now it's getting downright tedious for most people.

I've never looked at - with the exception of little snippets - very much of anything I've done in the last 15, 20 years.

Computers rather frighten me, because I never did learn to type, so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.

A lot of my time is spent watching films and reading scripts. And it can be all-consuming. And it's obviously something I'm fortunate that is both my work and my hobby. It's what I would naturally be doing anyway.

To make a computer do something that would take a human a long period of time was always interesting.

Screenwriting and the movie stuff could all disappear tomorrow, but to sit down with my laptop and still tell stories is my day job. I didn't believe I'd actually get to do it for a living.

If you want to do interesting software, you have to have a bunch of people do it, because the amount of software that one person can do isn't that interesting.
