America Is A Very Divided Country Now.

I Don't Write [screenplay Character] Biographies Beforehand. I Usually Go In Knowing Some Sequences: This Is Where I Want To Start, This Is Where I Want To End.

As A Screenwriter I'm Often Writing In Genres Where There Have Been Thousands Of Movies; Whereas When I Direct Movies They Tend To Be In Between Genres. They Tend To Have A Little Bit Of A Genre To Them, But They're Really About The People, And They're People We Haven't Met Before.

Sometimes People Can't Afford To Work For You, Or They're Not Interested Or Available, And You Hate To Have Written The Whole Movie With Somebody In Mind And Not Get Them.

I Like To Act. I Work For Scale. I Don't Have An Acting Agent. I'm In The Book.

When I Was Really Young I Didn't Know That There Was Such A Thing As A Screenwriter. I Wrote Stories.
