I Like Actors - I Used To

I'm Not Working On Anything. I Was Trying To Write Something New . . . I Guess The Goal For Me Now, At Least At This Point, Is To Try To Direct Again.

So When I Write Characters And Situations And Relationships, I Try To Sort Of Utilize What I Know About The World, Limited As It Is, And What I Hear From My Friends And See With My Relatives.

I Don't Think Screenwriting Is Therapeutic. It's Actually Really, Really Hard For Me. It's Not An Enjoyable Process.

From My Vantage Point In Writing A Story, I Can't And Don't And Have No Interest In Thinking About The Level Of Sophistication Of The Audience. I Can Only Think About What Interests Me, And Maybe What I Would Want To See If I Were Watching The Movie. To Me, That's The Key To Writing Something That's Not Pandering.

There Really Is Only One Ending To Any Story. Human Life Ends In Death. Until Then, It Keeps Going And Gets Complicated And There's Loss. Everything Involves Loss; Every Relationship Ends In One Way Or Another.
