I write small and weird. Romcoms are not in my skill set.

I'm not an especially highbrow person, but I have always loved small, quirky, edgy movies.

I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.

I've been meaning to write about the Rolling Stones, but I am the furthest thing from a hipster rock journalist.

I've come to find more satisfaction and enjoyment in writing screenplays over the years because that's what I do primarily now.

If I want to get a taste of beach culture, I'll fire up my season 2 DVD of 'Beverly Hills, 90210.'

In the past, I'll admit, I've enjoyed being compared to the protagonists in my screenplays.

Put your blog out into the world and hope that your talent will speak for itself.

The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.

The primary job for women in Hollywood is still super-attractive actress. That is the most high-profile women's job in Hollywood.
