A Good Film Script Should

Every Fear Hides A Wish.

A Novel It's Different. It's Kind Of Exhilarating Not To Have To Cut To The Bone Constantly. Oh, Well I Can Go Over Here For A Moment. I Can Say What I Think The Guy Was Thinking Or What The Day Looked Like Or What The Bird Was Doing. If You Do That As A Playwright, You're Dead.

In Playwriting, You've Got To Be Able To Write Dialogue. And If You Write Enough Of It And Let It Flow Enough, You'll Probably Come Across Something That Will Give You A Key As To Structure. I Think The Process Of Writing A Play Is Working Back And Forth Between The Moment And The Whole. The Moment And The Whole, The Fluidity Of The Dialogue And The Necessity Of A Strict Construction. Letting One Predominate For A While And Coming Back And Fixing It So That Eventually What You Do, Like A Pastry Chef, Is Frost Your Mistakes, If You Can.

The Quality I Most Admire In A Man Is Steadfastness.

I Don't Have Any Experience With Film Schools. I Suspect That They're Useless, Because I've Had Experience With Drama Schools, And Have Found Them To Be Useless.
