I heard George R. R. Martin had you in mind as Tyrion before you were ever cast. Has his fondness for your performance translated into him revealing Tyrion's ultimate fate to you beforehand? I know he's informed the producers about how the series ends, in case he dies before writing them, but if he were to tell any actor I'd imagine it would be you. (Note, I'm not asking for spoilers. . just wondering if you're privy to said information). Thanks for bringing Tyrion Lannister to life so masterfully!

Oh man, I absolutely LOVE your Indiana Jones novels. They're honestly the only Indiana Jones novels that feel like that character is accurately portrayed. Seriously, the Interior World is just fantastic writing...incredibly imaginative, dark, thought-provoking, and somehow plausible (for Indy, anyway). I'm also a huge fan of the Indy/Deirdre relationship...even if it didn't work out so well in the end. Oh, and Jack Shannon is, by far, the best sidekick Indy ever had in any of his adventures. . .he's just so dang likable, I really wanted to see him portrayed on the big-screen in Indy 4. Alas, we all know how that turned out...maybe he was a guest at the wedding, ehh? Anyway, thank you so much for your novels. . .my best friend and I (we met online through our mutual adoration of Indiana Jones), are huge fans of your work!

Groundhog Day is easily one of my top 10 films of all time, and that's thanks in large part to your incredible screenplay which I bought years ago. Besides thanking you for what is probably the deepest, most profound mainstream film I'm aware of...I have two questions I'd love to ask.
First, whose idea was it to remove the bit about the jilted lover "cursing" Phil into repeating the day until he found "true love" or whatever your reasoning was in the screenplay? Harold Ramis, your own? I think the film is MUCH stronger without having a reason why this mysterious event took place. ie; these things just HAPPEN. Besides, it enables the viewer to come up with their own meaning for the why, and adds layers of depth that would've been easily dismissed if we were given a decisive cause at the beginning.
Secondly, my favorite line in the script is when you have Phil admit to Rita about everything that's happened on his "last day", ending in a proclamation of love that is one of the most heartfelt passages I've ever read. If you would allow me to quote it here for those who haven't read the script...
"You want to know what's really amazing? I've been waiting for you every day for ten thousand years. I dream of you every night of my life. You've been my constant weapon against total despair, and just knowing you exist has kept me alive."
To me, this reveals so much about Phil's character, and finally gives Rita a reason to love him in return as he's being completely honest and forthright about his feelings. Why wasn't this line included in the film??
At any rate, I truly want to thank you again for your masterpiece, and I hope you write more screenplays (that are purchased and produced) in the near future!

Great choice, that's one of my favorites as well....so I have a feeling you'll love 'Her', it's profoundly touching and has stayed with me unlike anything I've seen in ages. Also, thanks for doing this AMA!

You're easily one of the most beautiful adult film stars today. That being said, what do you prefer filming....lesbian or straight scenes? Also, if you could do more POV films, that would be fantastic.
