"I do believe that writers are born. I think that you can make yourself better as a writer, I think you can take all the courses you want . . . but if you don't have it in you . . . if you don't have that voice in your head . . . I always say that screenwriters are skitzophrenics: the only difference is that rather than taking back to the voices you write them down. I think that there is truly a torturous content to it--thats not just a myth--and there are stories that you just have to tell." --
