Everybody's Damaged By Something.

If You Have Written Something That The Film People Want, Like A Book, It Does Give You A Way In.

I Actually Tried To Think Of The Story [room] In Gender-neutral Terms At First And Said To Myself, "ok, Would This Work If It Were A Man?" Well No, You Can't Make A Man Pregnant, So It's Got To Be A Woman.

I Look Back One More Time. It's Like A Crater, A Hole Where Something Happened.
