Screenwriting Is Like Ironing. You Move Forward

I Am Always Looking For That Nuance, That Moment Of Truth, And You Can't Really Do That Fast.

It's So Hard To Do Anything That Doesn't Owe Some Kind Of Debt To What Stanley Kubrick Did With Music In Movies. Inevitably, You're Going To End Up Doing Something That He's Probably Already Done Before. It Always Seem Like We're Falling Behind Whatever He Came Up With.
