I go where the material is, and I feel like I'm looking for really strong directors. That's the key ingredient. There are some directors I would move the sun and earth for, or stop the rotation of the planets, just to work with them.
I remember when I first started, the first movie I wrote that didn't get made I was aghast. 'Wait a minute, that's not how this is supposed to work. You write a move and it gets made!'
I didn't go out for a soap until I moved to New York. I wasn't even considering soaps, but my agents talked me into it and said it's nice, steady work.
It's tempting to work more than 60 hours a week and sacrifice sleep, not move, and eat bad foods as they are convenient. But this comes with a cost.

Going to war against Iran - whether one calls such a move 'surgical' or 'total' - would be an extremely serious undertaking; with worldwide economic, military, diplomatic and human ramifications in both the short- and the long-term.
The artistic element of Manhattan has kind of moved to Brooklyn. Has it changed it? Yeah. Has it ruined it? I would say no. It is what it is. I say better that than an urban war zone.
You tap in to this oneness and become part of the universe as a whole.
The worst part is watching someone you love love someone else
Sometimes it’s the mistakes that turn out to be the best parts of life,
E tutto congiura a tacere di noi, in parte come vergogna, o forse come speranza indicibile.
I'm not a body with a soul, I'm a soul that has a visible part called the body.
...we fear monsters because we fear the dark parts of ourselves...
What's your problem?" "I don't have problems. I solve them.
We've peered into the deepest parts to see beyond what lies on the surface.
Maybe illusion and artifice—lies, even—are a necessary part of romance.
You are part of divine purpose. You have a divine power within you.
