My Parents Taught Me As A Kid:

I Don't Have A "i Want To Play This Or That," I Just Don't Have That. I've Never Been Like That.

I Don't Think I've Made A Mistake. I Think I Have Behaved In Ways That I Am Proud Of; I Think I've Behaved In Ways I'm Not.

When You Find Theater Writing Like In The Theater On Film But It's Realistic, It Doesn't Matter Who The Character Is, You Want To Do It.

My Mom Would Always Say This Thing About Writing - And I've Taken It Into Account In A Lot Of Things In My Life - Which Is Just, "make It Shorter." Figure Out What You Are Truly Saying, Whittle It Down To The Essence, Then Say That.

I Try And Find And Access The Parts Of Myself That Still Blindly Believe And Have Faith In A Lot Of Things. I Don't Mean To Be Cynical, But I've Also Discovered That I Still Have A Lot Of Those. And They May Not Be Where I Expected Them To Be. Maybe I've Been In Relationships, And This Is A Movie About Relationships, Like Romance Relationships - So Maybe I've Been In Some That Have Sort Of Made Me Lose My Faith. But Deep Down Inside, I Still Have Blind Faith.
