I learned by doing. No film school, no writing classes. I had been a songwriter, so I was used to being efficient and working in a three act structure. But I started writing because I was an actor constantly auditioning for and reading bad scripts.

I knew that I could do better, so I started writing. The first 3 scripts were pretty bad, but I optioned the 4th and that gave me the confidence to continue.
