It really shocks me when I encounter people who think kindness doesn't matter. Because I think it's pretty much the only thing that matters.

But, yeah, I'm really happy when I'm writing. When I'm being creative and when I have something that I can put down. You know, if you go out and you overhear a conversation or you have a thought, you have a receptacle to go home and say, 'Oh, this would be great in this script.' Your antenna's out in a different way, and I love that time.

A movie can and should have some real dissonance throughout - rage, heartache, tears, conflict, catharsis and all the other elements Aristotle demanded of a good story - but the chord has to be resolved.

The attitude of the director is really important, in terms of setting tone.

Image
In writing scripts now, having made a film, I'm much more conscious of what it means to shoot and edit a movie, and that affects the writing.

My trick is the trick that everyone knows: Work really hard and prepare.

And so, however many people watch this thing, that's how many different opinions there will be about it. But I don't feel like it has an agenda in terms of its ideology. It just presents a story like a mirror. It's a mirror more than it is than a distorted mirror.

Each film is difficult, in its own particular way. There's a unique set of challenges on every movie.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business, only to become a jerk.

We are so vocal about what we hate.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

When I write a film, there's a particular thing I am wrestling with and the question or concern I'm dealing with has to be big enough for me to dedicate a year or two of my life. If the question isn't big enough, or rich enough, I'll lose interest.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.
