I always say when you write a book, you're a 'one-man band.' Whereas, when you finish a screenplay, it's just a sketch.

I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.

I can't write at night. For me, I'm programmed to believe that nighttime is for relaxation.

That's also why comedy and horror are my two favorite genres of film to write, because you get these outbursts of emotion from people, laughter and shock, and it's really thrilling, and I like to be thrilled.

I'm not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies.

I want Maggie Gyllenhaal. I don't know why. I don't think she necessarily looks like me or acts like me, I just think she's a cool actress and she could play me, so there you go.
