I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

I love bad movies, whereas going to the theater for me is a painful experience. I think it's really hard to sit and watch actors do something live and have it not go well.

I think film writing, you're thinking in pictures, and stage writing, you're thinking in dialogue. In film writing, it's also, you only get so many words, so everything has to earn its place in a really economical way. I think for stage writing, you have more leeway.

I think action should be revealed through character, so if you have a plot problem, it's probably a character problem.

I think most actors jump at the chance to do something where the camera's on them all the time.
