You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.

People have to find ways of explaining the work.

You have to determine what you are and send the messages out to people, like, 'Hey, I'm a screenwriter - look at this.' You can't sit around, wondering why people aren't calling and asking about my writing.

Some people are very good at that, communicating with the world; I'm not sure I'm suited to it.

You're torn between wanting to fill in all the spaces and knowing that's really going to screw up the screenplay. And yet, how are you going to communicate it to people who really don't understand the process?

I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.

When you're making a film, there are so many people involved that you get opinions and notes from people and you don't even know who they are. I find that quite difficult and it wears you down.

People need to start to think about the messages that they send in the movies.

You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push.

I think that for people who are trying to make a difference, you have to start the company being naive. You wouldn't do it if you understood all the work. I work a lot. I wish it was easier.
