Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think of life itself now as a wonderful play that I've written for myself, and so my purpose is to have the utmost fun playing my part.
I've done nothing with my life but write plays.
Acting is a bit of a substitute for life.
It's bad writing, however naturalistic it's written, that's where you have to do your best acting.
I have struggles in screenwriting that lead me to a third act that's always more or less efficiently wrapped up in a fourth act that's trying to give closure to too many things.
I believe in three-act structure. When I say that to novel people, or people in the world of books, they go, 'Well, that's a film thing.' However, even a good joke has three acts.
I studied screenwriting at film school and was constantly learning how to construct three-act dramas.
What we play is life.
It's hard to write a good play because it's hard to structure a plot. If you can think of it off the top of your head, so can the audience.
Life must be lived as play.
