If a good editor will let me tell my story with the right artist, I'm happy.

I just make crap up more than anything else.

It's TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer|BUFFY and Angel (TV series)|ANGEL that usually have an incredible cliffhanger every commercial break that amaze me.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person's hands, and I don't think many screenwriters can say that.

I think it was born out of that grade school fantasy that a lot of nerds like me had, which was "I could probably get the cute red-headed girl that sits across from me, if only every other boy in the entire school dies."

Your own creations are your own children; you gave life to them, so you’ll always have, if not more passion to them, more connections to them.

But Cruise is really good! The man is a complete wackadoo, but so is every great actor who ever lived. You gotta separate the artist from his/her art, or you won't be able to enjoy anything.
