Eavesdrop and write it down from memory - gives you a stronger sense of how people talk and what their concerns are. I love to eavesdrop!

I try to make everything I write a little bit different. Those songs that go, 'I love you so much and you love me,' they're boring. If I'm going to write a love song, it's going to be a little bit tortuous.

Before I write a novel, images float around in my head that work like icons - they are meaningless in themselves, but serve as reminders.

A love story, at least a convincing one, requires three elements - the lover, the beloved, and the adventures they have together.

I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?

I love to write.
