I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didn't know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I don't have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels.
The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I'd make all the same mistakes - only sooner.
