'The Grand Budapest Hotel' is not really my thing, but I kind of loved it.

I don't really know if I'm writing the kind of roles that Meryl Streep and Julianne Moore would play. Jessica Lange on 'American Horror Story' is a little bit more my cup of tea.

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

My mom took me to see Carnal Knowledge and The Wild Bunch and all these kind of movies when I was a kid.

Truth be told, actually, my favorite director of the Movie Brats was not Scorsese. Loved him. But my favorite director of the Movie Brats was Brian de Palma. I actually met De Palma right after I'd done 'Reservoir Dogs,' and I was very beside myself.

I want to have the fun of doing anime and I love anime, but I can't do storyboards because I can't really draw and that's what they live and die on.
