I thought 'Fight Club' was great as David Fincher's version.
I don't know if you ever really feel like you've made it.

Every author has to eventually write a food book.

We don't have friends, so we watch 'Friends' on TV.
I write in a noisy, distracting world so the books can be read there.

I never think I'm making fun of my culture. In fact I'm making fun of myself, because I catch myself doing some very stupid things.

When I was little, my grandma used to get romance novels, and she would get hundreds of these, and she'd read a dozen a month.

I was born in 1962, and it seems that throughout my entire life the world has demanded peace but maintained conflict.

The folks who read my books are so passionate about each one of them that the people making my movies are more afraid of my readership than they are of me.
incredibly maybe parties people sort word
My way of being with people is probably incredibly unhealthy, in that I'll be incredibly social, and I won't write a word for maybe a year, and I'll just be with people, going to parties and soaking up stories, and just sort of recharging all of my ideas.
fifty five line lines maybe serve work written
In books, you can just wallow in dialogue, and you can just wallow in written words. In screenplays, every line has to serve the purpose of the line that's implied before it and the line that's implied after it. Maybe five lines have to do the work of fifty lines.
verbs
Verbs allow you to communicate a story in a much more converged or involuntary way for a reader. The verbs allow you to come in under the radar, below people's defenses.
based entire eventually fall introduce isolate love obsess
'Romance' is based on my entire creative process. I fall in love with an idea, obsess over it, isolate myself with it, and when I eventually introduce it to my friends, they all tell me that it's stupid.
