"The discipline of creation, be it to paint, compose, write, is an effort towards wholeness."

"I made a rule for myself that the only television things I would do would be my own stories."

"You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five."
