“Unfortunately, there's still a lot of beginning writers who think you ...” — Chevy Stevens Quote

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of beginning writers who think you can just write your first draft and hand it in.

As much as writing is an emotional experience, it is a business as well. Coming from a business background, I treat it as such.

I was supposed to be cleaning out the barn, but I was usually reading romance novels. That's how you grow up to be a thriller writer.

In this day and age, you can write anywhere in the world. You can really live anywhere and have the same career.

Pain leaves a mark, the degree depending on the person and the event.

It's the NFL. There's a draft every year. There are players out there, guys out there working hard. That's why I've got to work hard. I've got to be better than those guys, and I look at everyone as competition.

I've been a lot of places and worked with a lot of different guys. High draft picks. Low draft picks.

I feel like whatever team drafts me I'd fit into because they're going to get the best receiver in the draft. Regardless of if they really need a receiver early or not, the way I'm going to come in and work, they're going to get the guy they hoped they drafted and be excited about it.

You have to constantly work on your script if it needs it. You don't accept, 'Oh, I did a draft and...' No, it's your responsibility to work on the script as much as possible and make it better and better.
