I love writing and do not know why it is considered such a difficult, agonizing profession.

People nearly always believe, and are willing to back it up with weapons and cruelty, that their religion and way of life is better than the other person's.

If you write a story based on a real person, you're trapped by the details of the real person and his life. It gets in the way of writing your own story.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

You don't work on something for six years and be blind to the myriad of other approaches.

I don't really have time to watch too much, but I like 'Family Guy' and 'Entourage.' I'm also obsessed with the YouTube series 'Balls of Steel.' It's hilarious.
