My Most Important Rule Is One That

Everyone Has His Own Sound. I'm Not Going To Presume How To Tell Anybody How To Write.

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

Try Not To Write The Parts That People Skip.

A Man Can Be In Two Different Places And He Will Be Two Different Men. Maybe If You Think Of More Places He Will Be More Men, But Two Is Enough For Now.

What Do You Tell A Man With Two Black Eyes? Nothing, He's Already Been Told Twice.
