Robert McKee quotes about
integrity unfinished-work actors
Secure writers don't sell first drafts. They patiently rewrite until the script is as director-ready, as actor-ready as possible. Unfinished work invites tampering, while polished, mature work seals its integrity.
profound choices given
Given the choice between trivial material brilliantly told versus profound material badly told, an audience will always choose the trivial told brilliantly.
slow-motion influence persuasion
Influence is just persuasion in slow motion.
lists stories bullets
Stories are how we remember; we tend to forget lists and bullet points.
accomplish-nothing fuel crafts
Talent without craft is like fuel without an engine, it burns wildly but accomplishes nothing.
