There's that process of writing it - then you come out of your room into the sunlight, and you now have to complete the circuit and make the connection finally with the audience.

Image
I'm terribly afraid of failure. When your identity is wrapped up in writing and you've written something that doesn't work, it's a tough pill to swallow.

An artist’s job is to captivate… if we stumble into truth, we got lucky.

The real problem with all drugs is that they work. Fantastically. They're great, right up until the moment they kill you.

I'm a playwright. All I care about is the play being good.

It's certainly easy for me to make a fictional character mad about something. I can get them angry about something that I'm relatively indifferent about, just because I'm not educated on it, if I go to someone who is educated about it and is passionate about it. I find a point of fiction and then give it to them.

I would love for people to think that I am as quick, clever, smart and heroic as the characters that I write, but those characters are characters.

People who don't know anything tend to make up fake rules, the real rules being considerably more difficult to learn.

There's a great tradition in storytelling that's thousands of years old, telling stories about kings and their palaces, and that's really what I wanted to do.

If you close your eyes you can imagine the hackers sitting in a room, combing through the documents to find the ones that will draw the most blood. And in a room next door are American journalists doing the same thing. As demented and criminal as it is, at least the hackers are doing it for a cause. The press is doing it for a nickel.

I have a lot of respect for people who are great at ad-libbing, and for writers and directors who are able to create a scene in which that works.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an actor. I was acting in all the school plays. I went to school for acting. I was really sure that that's what I wanted to do.

Image
I consider plot a necessary intrusion on what I really want to do, which is write snappy dialogue. But when I'm writing, the way the words sound is as important to me as what they mean.

It's a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb.

Toby: All right. It couldn't have gone far, right? Sam: No. Toby: Somewhere in this building...is our talent.

It was hard saying goodbye to the character and harder saying goodbye to the actor. When rumours started going around that Rob Lowe might be leaving I got an email from Josh Malina asking if I'd be interested in an actor who was cheaper and not as good looking. I wrote back, Always, and that was that.

Honestly, I don't try to guess at what most people want. I don't think I'd guess right, and I just think that that's not a good recipe for storytelling. I try to write what I like, what I think my friends would like.

I think that if I couldn't write, I would be unemployable.

Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.

Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright.
