I Am A Writer Who Was Able

I Am A Teller Of Stories. A Weaver Of Dreams. I Can Dance, Sing, And In The Right Weather I Can Stand On My Head. I Know 7 Words Of Latin, I Have A Little Magic... And A Trick Or Two. I Know The Proper Way To Meet A Dragon, I Can Fight Dirty But Not Fair. I Once Swallowed Thirty Oysters In A Minute. I Am Not Domestic, I Am A Luxury And, In That Sense, Necessary.

No Studio In Hollywood Wanted 'cold Mountain.' None. No One Wanted 'ripley,' No One Wanted 'the English Patient.' That Tells You There Isn't Really An Appetite For Ambitious Movie-making Out There.

Waiting Is Part Of Writing. When I Write The Word 'waiting' By Hand It Even Looks Like 'writing.'

I Never Feel More Myself Than When I’m Writing; I Never Enjoy Any Day More Than A Good Writing Day.

Being A Writer-director Can Sometimes Make You Incredibly Blinkered.
