When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe I'm drawn to it as a story element.
One of the most attractive things about writing your autobiography is that you're not dead.
Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.
I think that when you're writing fiction what you're doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don't normally like to admit to.
Like all writers, I draw from life as I know it; but it's a refracted kind of reality, and none of it is factually true.
I don't talk about my personal life, and I don't talk about death.
I write about true-life type things.
I write because I know that one day I will die, and thus I should experience as many deliberate observations, careful thoughts, wild ideas, and deep emotions as I can before that day occurs.
I think I want to talk about life from the point of view of death.
I write about living, not dying.
