Writers are completely out of touch with reality. Writers are a crazy person. We create conflict - for a living. We do this all the time, sometimes on a weekly basis; we create horrible, incredible circumstances and then figure a way out of them. That's what we do.
Crazy crisp dialogue. Incredibly tight plotting. Big emotion.
You are talking crazy-person talk. Put your words in word places please.
Hey, this is weird. I ordered one frozen yogurt and they gave me two. You don’t happen to like frozen yogurt do you? I love it! You’re kidding! What a crazy, random happenstance!

I'll take crazy over stupid any day.
The problem for me is that 'Watchmen,' one of the great comics of all time, is a look at superheroes that has gone beyond the concept of or necessity for superheroes.
I've never met a well-adjusted person. It's weird.
I've often said there's no such thing as a track record in TV. I seen people who created things much more successful than mine treated like dirt.
I spent a ton of time alone. I was raised by a feminist; I had a terrifying father and oppressively scary and mean brothers. We had a farm. The rule was between breakfast and lunch you weren't allowed to make a sound.
I've been doing Shakespeare readings with my friends for years.
I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that.
I used to write chronologically when I started, from beginning to end. Eventually I went, 'That's absurd; my heart is in this one scene, therefore I must follow it.'
Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women.
