"Make lists. Start writing a solution to a problem. How do I get this character out of a pit? He could climb out. That’s boring. I could use a ladder. There’s no ladder. Keep making lists until you get down to like number 20 and then you’re like wow, that could be interesting."

"T. Swift’s beefing with Charli XCX, Marc Maron is going after the Rogansphere, and Kendrick buried Drake at the Super Bowl. Nowadays, you get more attention for the beef than the actual art...If you ain’t hawking conflict, you ain’t on the radar."
