I'm Trying To Tell A Story And

I Actually Think I'm Probably More Interested In Structure Than Most People Who Write Screenplays, Because I Think About It.

In A Lot Of Movies, Especially Big Studio Ones, They're Not Constructed In Any Other Way Than To Get People To Like Them And Then Tell Their Friends. It's A Product.

There Are Too Many Ideas And Things And People. Too Many Directions To Go. I Was Starting To Believe The Reason It Matters To Care Passionately About Something, Is That It Whittles The World Down To A More Manageable Size.

As A Writer, Or As A Filmmaker, You Have To Present Yourself, And Part Of What Yourself Is Is What You're Interested In, Or What You Think Is Funny, Or What You Think Is Sad, Or What You Think Is Horrible.

I Do Have Some Theatrical Background. I've Written Plays And Seen Plays And Read Plays. But I Also Read Novels. One Thing I Don't Read Is Screenplays.
