Screenwriting Is Like Ironing. You

How Do I Respond To Criticism? Critically. I Listen To All Criticism Critically.

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. "singin' In The Rain" (1952) In "a Clockwork Orange" (1971) - That Was The First Time I Became So Aware Of Music In Movies. So No Matter How Hard You Try To Do Something New, You're Always Following Behind.

No Matter How Many Times You Do It, You Don't Get Used To The Sadness - For Me At Least - Of Coming To The End Of A Film.

We’re All Children Of Kubrick, Aren’t We? Is There Anything You Can Do That He Hasn’t Done?

But I'd Be Lying If I Didn't Say That Every Time You Go To Make A Film, You're Desperate To Either Do It Better Than You Did It Last Time Or To Not Repeat Yourself.
