on my choice of a career because being a journalist isn't actually
choosing to be a carpenter. My parents were writers. I wanted to be a
writer."

"I know that people are afraid
of me... Sometimes it's helpful. The opposite of it is something I'm
not interested in, which is that people think they can walk all over
you; and when you're a screenwriter, people think that anyway."
