Sure, the best things in life are free. But if you don’t get peace, love, and understanding this holiday season, how about a pair of diamond earrings and two weeks on the Great Barrier Reef?
What’s the best gift you’ve ever received?
A card my son made me, with a drawing of us playing catch.
Your winter holiday destination?
Although I enjoy snow sports, I’m more of a warm-weather guy. I always try to go to Maui or Kauai over the winter break. But I’m being more adventurous this year and heading to New Zealand and Australia.
What’s on your wish list?
World peace. And a jet ski.
Your most memorable re-gifting experience?
One Christmas Eve, I was given a night of wild passion. The next morning, I gave it right back.
Who is the toughest person on your list to buy a gift for?
My agent—all he deserves is a lump of coal.
What will you get him?
A gift-wrapped copy of my latest screenplay—a heartwarming family Christmas movie.
