I enrolled in NYU film school and went there for literally two days. I walked into this class and the teacher said, ‘If anyone is here to write Terminator 2, walk out the door.’ And I thought, well, that is not a good way to start. What if I want to write Terminator 2? What if someone sitting next to me wants to write it? But he was instantly saying, ‘We write serious films here.’ But Terminator 2 is a pretty awesome movie.
