People are more interested in being visible than they are in loving other people.
It doesn't matter if they're in front of the camera or behind the camera. I know women who are producers who are surviving on nothing but juice and almonds.
If being an attractive woman got you attention for directing, then the entire 'best director' category would be comprised of models. To me, that is just the most ludicrous connection that you could make.

I think when you're writing prose there's a lot of attendant description and that's were I used to really go bananas.

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!'
To those who are willing to believe, no explanation of these events is necessary. . . and to those who are not willing to believe, no explanation is possible.

If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake.
He liked the works of his friends, which is beautiful as loyalty but can be disastrous as judgement.
