The time it would take me to write a screenplay it would take me the time to make two films. I would rather make the movies, and I'm a better moviemaker than I would be writer.
The reason I started writing movies was because I kept getting parts that I just kind of stepped into. I didn't have to do a lot of work and I ended up getting sort of bored.
Alice: When I get home I shall write a book about this place... If I ever do get home.

Recipe writers hate to write about heat. They despise it. Because there aren't proper words for communicating what should be done with it.
I can't help but laugh at all of you writing fake stories about me. I was not in any hit and runs. I don't drink so the DUI is false.
I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.
It's impossible to write and produce a record when your parents are dying. I really tried, I really, really tried, but it just wouldn't come.

I got into DJing and making beats when I was about 17. I was always fascinated by the four elements of hip-hop: you know, writing, rhyming, breakdancing and graffiti.
I cannot listen to Beethoven or Mahler or Chopin or Bach when I write because those composers require you stop what you are doing and listen.
