I Graduated From College In 1980.

Before You Start Production, You Have Characters You Have Created Without Actors In Mind, Then All Of A Sudden You've Got Actors. They Bring An Enormous Amount In Creating These Characters, And Creating The Dynamics Between The Characters That You've Written.

From My Vantage Point In Writing A Story, I Can't And Don't And Have No Interest In Thinking About The Level Of Sophistication Of The Audience. I Can Only Think About What Interests Me, And Maybe What I Would Want To See If I Were Watching The Movie. To Me, That's The Key To Writing Something That's Not Pandering.

I Think Generally I'm Kind Of Interested In Subjective Experience, What Goes On Inside Someone's Head, That Being All They Really Know Of The World.

In A Lot Of Movies, Especially Big Studio Ones, They're Not Constructed In Any Other Way Than To Get People To Like Them And Then Tell Their Friends. It's A Product.

I Think That People Have Expectations Of Themselves And Other People That Are Based On These Fictions That Are Presented To Them As The Way Human Life And Relationships Could Be, In Some Sort Of Weird, Ideal World, But They Never Are. So You're Constantly Being Shown This Garbage And You Can't Get There.
