Usually, when I read something, I'm looking for the story first. And then, when I re-read it, I check every part of it to see whether every scene is necessary. You imagine yourself watching the movie, to see whether or not you're losing the through-line of the story.
From Gus Van Sant
There is a common theme, though, in the stories I have told, which are usually associations of characters or families that are formed outside of a family circle.
