Suddenly you’re watching dollars turn into nickels, and that’s interesting to me  (Stephen Gaghan Quotes) When I moved to Los Angeles, I wrote spec screenplays. I was really poor, and I thought I was just gonna do this for a while to make a little money so I could write novels. I thought movies were a second-class art form. I condescended to it - I didn’t know enough to know it was really gonna be hard  (Stephen Gaghan Quotes) When I was seven and told my mom, ‘I’m gonna be a writer,’ she said, ‘Oh, that’s a terrible idea. You’ll live in misery and die teaching other people’s children badly.’ My parents wanted the safer path for me, and I think they failed miserably achieving that  (Stephen Gaghan Quotes) Life serves up satire. Unfortunately. Or fortunately. I don’t know. You have to reel it in to drama.  (Stephen Gaghan Quotes)
