I am happy that I'm a better novelist than a screenwriter.

A lot of romantic comedies are just light romantic dramas, or the comedy comes off second-best.

I am a big advocate of the role of the bookstore in the community.

I worked in information technology and academia for a long time and met many people who were better with things and ideas than with people.

It's kind of a weird thing when you've been at the top of a division you've been in your entire career to kind of take a backseat because of friendship.

I tend to end relationships, so she can find somebody better than me. Because I want to be fair to people. I cannot devote enough energy and time and devotion to her. I think that is fair, no?

That's how me and my friends are. We love our personal relationships, but we have things we want to accomplish.

When you're in a relationship, if you just break it down to regular terms, people are attracted to something, and that's what they want you to be, and that's what you should just be, and for me, it's very simple - if I meet a girl and I say, 'This is what I like about you. Just continue. Every day.'
