Overly verbose, Im sure you could imagine.

I always wanted to be a writer jot down of thing.

Which is true, Ross said after a screening ofNickel Boys,which will open theNew York Film Festivaltonight.

Appreciate it, congratulations and good luck.

But then, I think, it was just him giving his blessing, which I appreciate.
