Every good writer or filmmaker has something eating at them, right? That they can't quite get off their back . And so your job is to make your audience care about your obsessions.

I'm such a coward that unless I get a good writer, I don't want to make a picture.

You can go from doing something quite silly to something dead serious in the blink of an eye, and if you're making those connections with your audience then they're going to go right along with it.

A good writer is always a people watcher.

I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.

You make your music, then you try to find whatever audience is out there for it.
