I'd love to do something like 'A Canterbury Tale,' because I love the English language.

I never feel like a smug or a smart-alec film director, and there are plenty of those around.

I never really tell anyone what I'm writing beforehand because I usually don't know what it will be.

The fact that ticket prices are way too expensive, and there's only one bunch of people going to see Broadway shows, is something I've never liked.

I can't stand up in front of people. It just fills me with horror.

I've always been very honest about what's good and bad in my writing. That honesty might have made me sound arrogant sometimes, when I was talking about work I thought was good.

I won't work on anyone's else's script. I won't write for anyone else. I write my own stuff and make that when the time is right.

When I started out, I was very vociferously against theatre or what I saw theatre as being, so I tried to make my plays the opposite of that - something a bit more cinematic. I'm a film kid, so I'll never have the same love of theatre as I do of movies. It's just the way I was brought up.

I never feel like a smug or a smart-alec film director, and there are plenty of those around.

I don't write all the time. But if I'm writing something, I'll just bang into it every day until it's finished. I write pretty quickly.
