A female piano player is always pretty cool to me.

I'm going to go out on tour when I feel like going on tour.

People are mean and hateful, angry - haters everywhere, stupid blogs.

I used to be so afraid to say what I really think.

I would love to produce a film. I have written a script and am in the process of writing another, so maybe it will happen down the road. I would love to do a film in Africa.

As a rule, I think people in L.A. are interested in any writer who brings a different skill set and experiences. There's an attraction to novelty and to anyone whose writing isn't based in screenwriting. I had that novelty.

Film is an art form. Dissecting and understanding it is a part of our own interest in humanity.

The craft of writing is all the stuff that you can learn through school; go to workshops and read books. Learn characterization, plot and dialogue and pacing and word choice and point of view. Then there's also the art of it which is sort of the unknown, the inspiration, the stuff that is noncerebral.
