When I started writing screenplays, as early as I started writing anything, I hadn’t seen any ordinary screenplays. I saw movies and figured out how I thought they should be written Picture Quote #1

When I moved out to Los Angeles to get some film and television work, and couldn’t get any... I became a little isolated, a little terrified, and it’s a good place to get writing, because you’re so bored. So I wrote a few screenplays, and people notice those Picture Quote #1

I’ve come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that’s what I do primarily now Picture Quote #1

Being known as a writer did change the relationships I had with directors. The rap on actors is that they always want to inflate their parts. But when directors know you write screenplays and have a different view of things, you really get invited into the huddle in a much fuller way. And those collaborations end in friendships Picture Quote #1

I’ve learned to sell my music, I’ve learned to direct, I’ve written screenplays... All of this fulfilled my artistic needs but also put food on the table Picture Quote #1

I don’t assume, because I can write screenplays, that I know how to write a novel. It’s a very different world. There’s a craft involved in storytelling, and it’s a different kind of craft. But yes, someday I will do that. It just might be awhile Picture Quote #1

The movies are fun, but I’m a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel Picture Quote #1
