"When I give lectures and workshops to future creative writers I always use this bit of advice by Ira Glass: ‘For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer...you have just got to fight your way through.’” I made this statement in an interview the day my short Dr. Sugarloaf premiered at Cannes, and I still work with this passion in everything I write.
