Personal quotes:

"I wrote about three paragraphs of the Great American Novel and then immediately discovered that wasn't going to work. I moved on to a couple of one-act plays that were disasters. Then some horrible poetry. Then I thought I wanted to be a sportswriter. Fortunately, my dad got me a screenwriting book."
— Edward Burns
