Rose: But Now You Know

We Have Nightmares Because Our Brain Is Running Simulations To Put Us In Jeopardy To See What We'll Do Or To Acclimatize Us To That Idea That Something Bad Could Happen. It's Just How Human Beings Are Wired Because The Entire Time We Were Evolving We Had To Jump Quick Or The Leopard Would Get Us Or Whatever It Was. It's Darwinian.

A Director's Job Is To Make Something Happen And It Doesn't Happen By Itself. So You Wheedle, You Cajole, You Flatter People, You Tell Them What Needs To Be Done. And If You Don't Bring A Passion And An Intensity To It, You Shouldn't Be Doing It.

I Set My Goals Way Higher Than The Achievable. And When I Fail, I Fail At A Very High Level. That's My Process. It's Really Demented, But It Actually Works. When You Are Aiming Really High And Doing Something New, You Must Be Also Prepared To Fail, Learn From Your Mistakes And Begin With A New Plan. More Motivated Than Before.

I've Sworn Off Agnosticism, Which I Now Call Cowardly Atheism. I've Come To The Position That In The Complete Absence Of Any Supporting Data Whatsover For The Persistence Of The Individual In Some Spiritual Form, It Is Necessary To Operate Under The Provisional Conclusion That There Is No Afterlife And Then Be Ready To Amend That If I Find Out Otherwise.

I Don't Look At Scripts. I Just Write Them.
