My mom once told me that a good relationship isn’t where the other person makes you feel better, but where they make you better.

Drama Teenager Writing
I like being around teenagers. It’s good for drama; they feel everything much more intensely than adults do, their lives are much more interesting than ours. They’re mutants. They have these weird bodies that are rebelling against them and changing every day. Teenagers always equal good drama.

Not a word of my writing has ever been changed by another person’s hands, and I don’t think many screenwriters can say that.

I’m not afraid of the world. I’m afraid of a world without you.

Afraid Love Without World
I remember seeing Stand by Me, when I was around 12, and just feeling like, “This is so refreshing to see kids swear and smoke cigarettes like my friends.” It just felt much more real than the Sesame Street version of childhood that I’d been spoon-fed.
