Constantly Talking Isn't Necessarily Communicating.

When I'm Writing A Script, Before I Can Write Dialogue Or Anything, I Have Two Or Three Hundred Pages Of Notes, Which Takes Me A Year. So, It's Not Like "what Happens Next." I've Got Things That I'm Thinking About But I Don't Settle On Them. And If I Try To Write Dialogue Before Then, I Can't. It's Just Garbage.

I Think Everything I Do Is Based On My Experience In The World In One Way Or Another.

The Way I Work Is Not The Way That You Work, And The Whole Point Of Any Creative Act Is That. What I Have To Offer Is Me, What You Have To Offer Is You, And If You Offer Yourself With Authenticity And Generosity I Will Be Moved.

It Occurred To Me That Every Work Of Art Is A Synecdoche, There's No Way Around It. Every Creative Work That Someone Does Can Only Represent An Aspect Of The Whole Of Something. I Can't Think Of An Exception To That.

When I Found Myself In That Situation - That Actors Are Like Children, I Tried To Be Successful. And When It Worked And I Figured Out How To Communicate That Things Were Good - Or At Least Okay - Then I Felt Pleased.
