I love the way L A. leaves you alone. I can go home, read all day, and nobody bugs me.

I've always had this idea that I wanted movies to make people better not worse.

The ability to create same day straight through processing of mutual fund trades is a matter of will.

If a man comes up to me, I'm almost sure he's going to mention Rome, if it's a woman, it'll be 'Grey's Anatomy.'

Unfortunately, too many public school officials believe that cameras are needed to enforce order and discipline.

I'm writing, I'm using language, I'm using that language to tell stories and even more so to get ideas across. And I just love that, and I've always loved that.
