At my age, I dare say I've kind of established myself, and I don't have to chase a paycheck. ”

When I feel like I'm doing my best work, there is a bit of a freedom, a bit of flight that you're not so much losing yourself but you're sort of in the zone. ”

Good scripts have always been, I think, hard to find. Good storytelling, good writing - it's just not easy. I have made it a point that - if I'm going to put the energy into doing this work - I will wait until I find something I'm really happy with. ”

I'm thrilled with my body of work. ”
