Something most people don't know about me is that I never grew up.

You know, I find people with great honesty, bodily, physical honesty, who sit just the way they like to sit, and walk the way they like to walk, and don't come into a room all pumped up, I find them elegant.

I never thought about being a writer as I grew up. A writer wasn't something I wanted to be. An outfielder was something to be. Most of what I know about style I learned from Roberto Clemente.

I love sci-fi, computer games. I love any escapes. Give me them all.

For me, it's painful to make a movie. It's not my normal rhythm.

There's enough of a willingness in the West to do sympathetic movies about Arab roles.
