The ghosts you chase you never catch.
Well, I like to have fun at work.
All you have is the writer's imagination. You have a very limited time to take this imaginary person and bring the details of their life, as you perceive them, to life. You attempt to do to that as fully and as vibrantly as you can. It's depressing to read how much you've failed. And it's not even particularly instructive or necessary to read how you succeeded because in the end don't you have to judge that?
Things are so much global and Americanised.
If you're too smart it can limit you because you spend so much time thinking that you don't do anything.
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
Anybody doing something brings something to it. It's not for me to say if it's "growth". Just by the nature of everyone has a different take on the material. Some people would.
I don't remember my life before I had children.
I never really did a western western.
I don't like things too overstated in the cut or too perfect.
I prefer to conduct my life based on how I treat people.
I don't mind tracksuits. At the track.
I don't mind what I play, really.
I don't need to be liked.
