Nobody Comes To Minnesota To

I Actually Have Two Children Now, And Sometimes I Wonder If That's It. Because They Do Make Writing And Directing More Complicated And More Difficult, Especially Now That They're Very Young.

I'm Not An Especially Highbrow Person, But I Have Always Loved Small, Quirky, Edgy Movies.

I Think When You're Writing Prose There's A Lot Of Attendant Description And That's Were I Used To Really Go Bananas. With A Screenplay That All Gets Filled In By The Director, So It Just Sort Of Pulls You Back By Virtue Of The Form. You Also Have To Use More Economy As A Screenwriter And So It's Kind Of Limiting In A Good Way.

I Don't Think I Ever Got The Hang Of The Writers' Room. I Love Collaborating With People, But I Really Do My Best Work Alone, And I Think I Would Want To - If I Did Something Again, I Think I'd Want To Take Total Ownership The Way Aaron Sorkin Or David Kelley Does.

This Is For The Writers. I Want To Thank All The Writers. I Especially Want To Thank My Fellow Nominees Because I Worship You Guys And I'm Learning From You Every Day.
