I Work Fitfully, In Hope

I Was One Of Five Very Clever Kids, The Other Kids Were Cleverer Than I Was And Still Are And Are Very Achieving. The Girls Were Always First At Everything And I Was Always 101st!

I'm Interested In Stories Which Insist On A Dog Fails-to-eat-dog Kind Of World. I Hate Misanthropy, Want To Believe That There's A Possibility That We Might All Be Redeemed, That Hope Deferred Makes The Soul Sick, That Our Humanity Is Fragile, Funny, Common, Crazy, Full Of The Longing For Love, The Failure Of Love.

I Never Feel More Myself Than When I’m Writing; I Never Enjoy Any Day More Than A Good Writing Day.

The Feeling Of Not Belonging, Of Not Being Entirely Worthy, Of Being Sometimes Hostage To Your Own Sensibilities. Those Things Speak To Me Very Personally.

I Want To Tell Stories Which Require Something Of An Audience, By Way Of Thought, Argument, Emotion, Because I'm More Often In An Audience Than I Am A Maker Of Films, And That's The Kind Of Movie I Want To See.
