Look, I just have a way of telling my stories that is kind of my way, but I don't ever really know what that way is when I start. There is this whole process to me when it comes to writing and even making it, but in particularly writing. There's this whole process that I'm-because I don't do it all the time, that I'm always remembering how I do what I do as I'm doing it. "Oh yes! Of course!"

...It's really easy to just take somebody else's script and find something about it that is interesting and maybe you rewrite it or maybe you work with that dude and make it come to be. But starting with a blank piece of paper and a pen, that's starting from square one. You get no gold stars for anything you've ever done before 'cause you are starting from square one all over again. You're at the bottom of the mountain and you've gotta climb to the top...

...I get a thrill when I just keep having these little epiphanies of "Oh yes, okay, yeah, alright. I shouldn't have worried about that because this is how I do it." And, you know, it's like I'm remembering who I am, you know, through the process. And I think that actually is part of the writing process.
