I Had This Spooky Psychological Thing About

It's Been Such A Deep And Amazing Journey For Me, Getting Close To John Keats, And Also I Love Shelley And Byron. I Mean, The Thing About The Romantic Poets Is That They've Got The Epitaph Of Romantic Posthumously. They All Died Really Young, And Keats, The Youngest Of Them All.

Tragedy Makes You Grow Up.

If You Start With A Good Idea, You Can Encapsulate It In A Phrase And Explain It. I Like High-concept Films. Everyone Can Get Hold Of It. I Don't Think There's Any Harm In That At All.

As For How Criticism Of Keats' Poetry Relates To Criticism Of My Own Work, I'll Leave That For Others To Decide.

I Think That The Romantic Impulse Is In All Of Us And That Sometimes We Live It For A Short Time, But It's Not Part Of A Sensible Way Of Living. It's A Heroic Path And It Generally Ends Dangerously. I Treasure It In The Sense That I Believe It's A Path Of Great Courage. It Can Also Be The Path Of The Foolhardy And The Compulsive.
