Actually, after while, finding the ideas is the easy part. Sorting them through and turning them into stories, now, that's the hard work.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You find most of the interesting stories are the ones that are slightly harder to get made.
You have to work with the ideas and give them a little push.
I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
Good scripts and interesting stories are hard enough to find.
It took me many years to figure out how to structure a compelling story.
Sometimes ideas feel like they were already there, and that you're just discovering them.
The hardest thing is the idea. Ideas come from somewhere but as far as we know they come from nowhere.
Actually ideas are everywhere. It's the paperwork, that is, sitting down and thinking them into a coherent story, trying to find just the right words, that can and usually does get to be labor.
Ideas sometimes come from nowhere, and sometimes they take lots of thinking.
The hardest part of this whole movie-making endeavor is finding ideas.
