David O. Russell is probably my favorite filmmaker. He's not only a great director, but he's also a great writer.

I'm not a great writer.

Sean's a great, great writer.

You become a great writer by writing.

As a songwriter, I was influenced by David Bowie - a great writer. A class above everybody in so many ways. Lennon and McCartney, of course. Class stuff. David Cousins was my favorite lyricist.

My dad is a great writer. Naturally talented, naturally charming. He embodies that back-in-the-day cool.
