I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.
Sometimes people can write really great scenes and even a great episode, but they can't see the bigger picture.
Basically, when I'm writing something, I think about what is the subject of the piece. The subject of the piece is our fear of getting old, which is a variation on our fear of dying.
You don't want to watch classics with me 'cause I'm constantly writing notes.
I wouldn't describe myself as a do-gooder. That's really more my wife. I'm kind of just the obsessed guy who's been writing and making movies since I was a little kid, just in a room and make it.
