You're A Writer. Make It Up.

And I Didn't Grow Up Wanting To Be A Director. I Grew Up Wanting To Be A Writer, So For Me, That Was Always The Goal - To Be A Novelist, Not A Screenwriter. And I Think, Again, If I Didn't Have The Novels, Maybe I'd Be Much More Frustrated By Not Having Directed Yet.

I Think, In A Weird Way, The Reason I Was Drawn To Screenwriting And The Reason I Really Love Doing It Is Because I Love Writing Dialogue.

With The Movies, People Are Not Going To Wait Around. The Deadline Is A Deadline. In Publishing It's More A Polite Suggestion.

I Like Having My Own Story Remain My Story.

Once You Realise That Heroes Die, Everything Becomes That Much More Terrifying.
