I Can't Imagine Directing From Someone Else's

But What I Didn't Recognize When I Was Much Younger Was This Sort Of...when You're On, When You're Really On, Go At It.

I Have Written A Bunch Of Scripts That Have Not Gotten Produced, Much More So Early In My Career Than Later.

I Like Emotions, But I Really Don't Like Sentimentality, And I Don't Like When Things Break Their Spell.

The Writing Is Really Hard. You're Alone. It Really Pulls It Out Of You. You Pull It Out Of Your Head. But When You're A Director, You're Shopping - You're Picking This Actor, You're Picking This Scene. It's Like The Most Intense Kinetic High-speed Shopping Of All Time. You Sit In A Chair And It Will All Come Rushing At You Like A Wind Tunnel.

No One Can Help You Write. No One Can Teach You How To Write.
