I Used To Be, When I Was

You Have To Know Human Behaviour … And The Quality Of Your Writing Is Absolutely Capped At Your Understanding Of Human Behaviour. You’ll Never Write Above What You Know About People.

The Writing Is Really Hard. You're Alone. It Really Pulls It Out Of You. You Pull It Out Of Your Head. But When You're A Director, You're Shopping - You're Picking This Actor, You're Picking This Scene. It's Like The Most Intense Kinetic High-speed Shopping Of All Time. You Sit In A Chair And It Will All Come Rushing At You Like A Wind Tunnel.

I Like Emotions, But I Really Don't Like Sentimentality, And I Don't Like When Things Break Their Spell.

Everyone I Know Who Used To Be In The Intelligence Community Is Moving Into The Corporate World.

A Reversal Is Just Anything That's A Surprise. It's A Way Of Keeping The Audience Interested.
