I write 2,000 words a day when I write. It sometimes takes three hours, it sometimes takes five hours.

Like most writers, I write about what has happened to me as that involves the minimum amount of research.
I write books I'd enjoy reading, I'm the reader standing behind my shoulder.
I'm all over the place. As you may have seen from the credits, I write with everybody.

I'd love to work with Aaron Sorkin on something. Just the way he writes, he has no fear in writing people that are fiercely intelligent, and I love that.

I don't write songs about a specific, elusive thing. I write about love, and everyone knows what it is like to have your heart broken.
I don't think there was a particular book that made me want to write. They all did. I always wanted to write.
I write for what's left of the eight-year-old still rattling around inside my head.
As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me.
That's why I write fiction, because I want to write these stories that people will read and find universal.
There's something about the shape that a poem takes in my mind before I write it that has to do with suddenness.
