I Have Ideas Written Down Some Places,

If You Ever Got Me, You Wouldn't Have A Clue What To Do With Me.

From My Vantage Point In Writing A Story, I Can't And Don't And Have No Interest In Thinking About The Level Of Sophistication Of The Audience. I Can Only Think About What Interests Me, And Maybe What I Would Want To See If I Were Watching The Movie. To Me, That's The Key To Writing Something That's Not Pandering.

I'm Trying To Tell A Story And Do It Truthfully.

I Hate A Movie That Will End By Telling You That The First Thing You Should Do Is Learn To Love Yourself. That Is So Insulting And Condescending, And So Meaningless. My Characters Don't Learn To Love Each Other Or Themselves.

I'm Jewish, And My Family Is Jewish. I Was Very Interested In Woody Allen When I Was Growing Up, But I Don't Think Of Myself As A Jewish Writer. I'm More From Suburbia, American Suburbia. I'm More From The '70s Than I Am From Judaism.
