I do have some theatrical background. I've written plays and seen plays and read plays. But I also read novels. One thing I don't read is screenplays.

I tend to not only read reviews, but also every little stupid thing online. It's a very bad idea, and there's a lot of angry people in the world. And it's weird to absorb all that weirdness.

I have ideas written down some places, but usually I can't find them. I'm not very organized.

I hate a movie that will end by telling you that the first thing you should do is learn to love yourself. That is so insulting and condescending, and so meaningless. My characters don't learn to love each other or themselves.

I actually think I'm probably more interested in structure than most people who write screenplays, because I think about it.

I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.
