I used to be opposed to collaboration, and that's probably why the music in the past wasn't as good. Writing with other people, especially the great writers that I've had the privilege to write with, it activates something in your mind that you wouldn't use alone.

I've done a lot of collaboration over the years, but right now I'm enjoying writing by myself and just being me again for a while.

I love writing. I think writing and directing go hand in hand.

It helps to be able to be alone. 'Cuz writing is done alone, unless you collaborate, but I don't do that. Ask my ex-wife.

The more alone I am, the more focused I can get. I've written things with people, some of which I liked and others I think are total travesties. Collaborating is trying to make a piece of music and get someone else to come up with the ideas. What's the fun of that?

I'm one that likes to collaborate.

The writing partnership is a good collaboration for the same reason the marriage works, which is two people who can stand alone choosing to stand together.
