Writing Is A Journey Into The Unknown.

And Also The Idea Of Not Making It Apparent That It's Different From The Rest Of The Film, Even Though There Are Visual Differences, The Audience Is Supposed To Think That They Are With Him When He Wakes Up In The Morning.

And So Not Only Do You Have To Make That Work, You Can't Really Start Putting The Thing Together In Any Form Because Some Of The Shots Are Very Short And Obviously Many Of Them Take So Long, You're Waiting Months And Months And Months Before You Can See If It's Going To Be Working Emotionally.

I Think Now That I've Tried Directing, I'm Not Interested In Doing Adaptations Anymore. I Could Do An Adaptation Of Someone Else's Work That I Would Write, But The Idea Of Taking Someone Else's Material Entirely Doesn't Interest Me. One Of The Things That I Found Really Helpful, At Least In My Mind - And I've Never Discussed This With The Actors Or With The People I Work With - Is That Being A Neophyte In Directing, I Feel Like I Have A Kind Of Authority Simply Because I'm The Writer As Well.

I Don't Have A Style. I Wouldn't Say I Have A Style As A Writer, Either. I Know People Have Said "this Is What He Does," But When I'm Writing, I Don't Think About That. I Don't Think About A Style.

She Was Nice. Nice Is Good.
