My own writing has perhaps more of an American flavor than a British one, but that's because the stories I've so far written have needed it.

But there is a universality to story that isn't just limited to science fiction.

The Russo brothers are the best people ever, and they cast me in 'Happy Endings.'

I bought the rights to this book, 'The Ploughmen,' by a Montana writer named Kim Zupan, and I've written the screenplay, and I really feel pretty strong about it. It's really hauntingly beautiful. It's got some suspense and great drama, but it's a real character thing.

I got into one of the schools I applied to because of the essay I wrote about Holly Hunter's character in 'Broadcast News.' She's the only female producer on this news network, and she's really good at her job, but she allots time in her day to just sit at her desk and cry. And then she's just back to work. I find that really effective.
