Josh: I had this boss when I was living in New York and he said, "Let's hustle people. It's already tomorrow in Hong Kong". And that phrase really stuck with me because it's so fast paced here, it really is already tomorrow.

Ruby: It's still yesterday in L.A.
Josh: I've had a few Asian girlfriends, and suddenly, like, I'm the white guy with an Asian fetish.

Ruby: Do you ever get writer's block?

Josh: I read somewhere that if you're blocked, it just means you're writing about the wrong things.

Ruby: Okay. It looks like someone's being Google quotes about writer's block instead of actually writing.

Josh: Busted.
