I've always been a writer, I've always been a storyteller, but I never thought about screenwriting.
Honestly, this will never happen because she's so much classier than me, but I would love to work with Sofia Coppola.

You definitely meet a lot of extremely powerful, successful, wealthy people in Hollywood who are extremely miserable.
As a kid, I spent every summer bent over a stack of books, obsessively writing detailed reports on each one.
I just want to be able to keep my house and pay for my son's school tuition in Los Angeles.
I've been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels.

The Rolling Stones are so versatile, they're like the band version of that Infinite Dress they sell on QVC.
