I Write From My Stomach.

I Had The Standard Movie Geek Childhood, Because For As Long As I Can Remember, All I Wanted To Do Was Make Movies.

I Remember Being Taught In School That You Would Underline Things That You Liked. I Remember Just Underlining Everything As A Kid, Thinking, 'this Has All Gotta Be Important!' I Would Just Underline The Whole Thing!

Acting Is The Hardest Job In The Entire World. By Far. Harder Than Ditch Digging.

Well I'd Really Love To Work With Robert De Niro, Because He's Still The Most Talented Actor Out There.

So With 'there Will Be Blood,' I Didn't Even Really Feel Like I Was Adapting A Book. I Was Just Desperate To Find Stuff To Write.
