"'You grow up and go to automotive high school. You graduate from that. You get into NYU which is unbelievable; you're the first person in your family to really go to college. You graduate from NYU. You get into law school. You're on partnership track in a major Manhattan law firm. You're going to quit that. You're going to move to Los Angeles, where you've never been, and you're gonna start writing scripts, which you've never written. That's your plan?' And I said, 'Yeah. And I know I'm right. I know this is my destiny.'"

"Follow the green lights. There are a lot of yellow lights in the world where people are not quite sure about a direction, or red lights, which is don't go that way.

And I thought, 'yeah, follow the green lights. Go where it's open towards you.'"
