Screenwriting is like ironing. You move forward a little bit and go back and smooth things out.
pride each-day world

nuance moments that-moment
I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can't really do that fast.

I'm completely aware of the fact that I'm a control freak.
dummy courses
Of course, I'm no dummy.

confusing fans whimsical
I've never been a fan of whimsical or confusing storytelling.
