What's fascinating is that when you write a script, it's almost a stream of consciousness. You have an idea that it means something, but you're not always sure what. Then when you get on the set, the actors teach you. ↗

Despite recent speculation in the media, and after difficult but sincere consideration, I have decided not to direct 'Catching Fire.'

I worked probably 25 years by myself, just writing and working, not trying to publish much, not giving readings. ↗
