I find playwriting to be incredibly difficult compared to screenwriting. Part of it is that I grew up watching movies and not watching plays.

I find playwriting really painful. I love it, or I wouldn't do it, but I don't love the theater as much as I love movies.

I don't have a lot of patience for boring arthouse movies.

People really do make the assumption that I had some weirdo Hollywood upbringing, but my parents are incredibly down-to-earth people who worked really hard to raise us in a way that was health.

I think movies have much more magic than the theater. Theater can be a magical experience, but movies thrust their subjectivity on you in a more profound way.

You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn't expect. You have to follow.
