When you find something where you can give people a message and still make it an exciting movie, you get very, very excited about something. You probably even work harder than you normally do. ↗

So I'll write it, and then I'll find out that I actually wrote something that is utterly useless. You can't use it in the story and it doesn't fit. So I just throw it away. I've done that countless times. ↗

My favorite comfort food would have be braised beef. You know, beef, slow-cooked in a Dutch oven or in a slow cooker until it falls apart with simple mushrooms, some onions and lots of fresh thyme and garlic. ↗

I can't think of anything more crushing than slowly, over time, realizing exactly how wrong you were about someone. ↗

Secular humanists suspect there is something more gloriously human about resisting the religious impulse; about accepting the cold truth, even if that truth is only that the universe is as indifferent to us as we are to it. ↗
