I think books and movies are going to go a long way together in the future. I think we writers are very important material for directors.

I think, No. 1, I still have a long way to go.

Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor; I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.

There are two of my favorite books, 'The Great Gatsby' and 'Gone With The Wind', that were made into movies. And I love those movies as much as I love the books. That's really rare.

I'm used to promoting books, but a movie is a very different thing. You have to go to film festivals and wear fancy clothes and try and look glamorous and intelligent when you're just terrified and you want to go home!

I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.
