The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die.

It's cool to be in the paper every once in awhile and people read about you and they know who you are.

The cool thing about writing is that there is really never a typical day. Sometimes I get a rhythm going and head off to work every morning and come home at night. Sometimes I'll write for two days straight and then be utterly blank for the next two.

I once saw a picture in the paper of John Hegley with 'poet' written on his knuckles and I thought that was pretty cool so I was quite up front about it.

I grew up around hip-hop so I didn't think it was about being cool or being black or being white or whatever.

But it's cool working with female directors because I'm a girl so you do relate to them more. You can talk to them about other stuff like clothes and all that.

Well I look at it like this: When you go to a restaurant the less you know about what happens in the kitchen the more you enjoy your meal. If the soup tastes good everything's cool and you don't necessarily want to know what's in it. The same thing holds true with movies.

I just thought it could make a really cool movie. It's not that it's just a buddy comedy but it's all about two guys hating each other and towards the end they're good friends. I liked that these two guys were best friends from the very beginning and they're crazy.

Again like I said we're not trying to censor anyone. If you think drugs are cool fine. Make that movie. We are not going to stop you or try to stop you but we would encourage other people to be a bit more responsible about their portrayal of drug usage.

What I like about the 'Underworld' thing is that it's a mix of cool genres as well as creating its own message.
