• Once you're directing, you're kind of in a certain mode, where you're taking whatever is on the page and forming it into the film that you think it might want to be. So whether it's my writing or not, I still try to work with it in the same way.

• I bring my classical training - some of it, but not all of it - and also my background and culture, to spirituals.

It's not just about what's on the page.

• For the last few years I've tried to force myself to write at least one page every day, which doesn't sound like much but it's actually pretty hard to manage.

• On the Internet, news is consumed a la carte. If someone shows up on the main page of a website and doesn't see anything of interest, they leave. This negatively impacts ad revenues. The solution on the Internet is to pack news websites full of things that will draw people in, regardless of whether they are news or not.
