I Normally Ignore The History Channel.

I Had Gone To The Bookstore, And While I Hadn't Bought Any Books On How To Write A Screenplay, I'd Bought A Couple Of Scripts So I Could See How The Formatting Works. I Just Needed To Know How A Hollywood Screenplay Looked On The Page, Which Was Something I Was Totally Unfamiliar With.

I Think It's Pretty Obvious That Women's Stories Are Not Necessarily Being Told In Hollywood And Women Are Not Necessarily Being Put In The Leadership Positions They Deserve In Mainstream Film.

I Think When You're Writing Prose There's A Lot Of Attendant Description And That's Were I Used To Really Go Bananas. With A Screenplay That All Gets Filled In By The Director, So It Just Sort Of Pulls You Back By Virtue Of The Form. You Also Have To Use More Economy As A Screenwriter And So It's Kind Of Limiting In A Good Way.

I Had Written The Script For Juno And Apparently Steven Spielberg Had Read It. I Can't Just Call Him Steven, That's Weird... Mr. Spielberg Had Read It And He Liked It. He Asked Me If I Would Write This Television Show For Him And I Said, 'yeah!'

I've Come To Find More Satisfaction And Enjoyment In Writing Screenplays Over The Years Because That's What I Do Primarily Now.
