I won't leave any unfinished manuscripts.

I don't like to leave anything unfinished on my desk before I travel.

I'm going to go away on vacation, I'm going to try to get away from the phone, away from scripts. I think it's important to sit back and think about what you want.

My life is scheduled to the minute. I used to be notoriously hard to get a hold of. But now, it would be irresponsible for me to say, 'I'm not checking my phone.'

Everybody knows I return all of my phone calls. I pick up my cell phone myself, much to the chagrin of my staff.

I don't do things lightly; I don't take a job then just phone it in - I've never done that.

There'll come a writing phase where you have to defend the time, unplug the phone and put in the hours to get it done.

If I could throw my phone away, I would probably do it. It's always on silent, and I don't like when it rings and people are calling. We could live without those things in the past when we just had a phone on the street somewhere, on the corner or at the house. I have no interest in telling all the people what I do every day and where I am.

I stay away from the telephone if at all possible.

I just operate on the assumption that all phone conversations are bugged.
