I Was An English Major At Ucla

When I Started Writing After My Career As An Actor, I Knew That That Other Life In The Film Industry Would Be Pulled Into My Writing Life And That People Would See Me Not As An Author But As An Actor Starting To Write.

I Think It Helps The Writers To Sell Their Books, If They Announce My Attachment, But It Doesn't Mean That I'm Going To Make The Movies In The Next Year, Or Two, Or Three.

Villains Can Often Be One Note And I Would Say In That Case, It’s Not Fun To Play The Villain. It’s Fun To Play The Villain If He A) Has Dimension And B) The Villain Gets To Do All The Things In The Movie That In Life He Would Get Punished For. In The Movie, You’re Applauded For Them If You Do Them With Panache. And So That’s Why It’s More Fun To Play The Villain.

...it Can Be So Boring Being You Sometimes, And If You Were The Most Special Thing Like That, It Could Be Really Great, But Maybe Some People Say The Same Thing About You, And You Want To Tell Those People: 'no, You're Stupid, It's No Fun Being Me.

I'm Starting To Teach Now: I Teach In The Graduate Film Program At Nyu And Next Year I'm Going To Be Teaching At Los Angeles At The Film Program And English Program At Ucla.
