    I have this funny thing where I drive to another city, sometimes even a small town, and look for their coffee shops to sit and write. Sometimes being in a strange and unknown place gets my creativity flowing. The furthest away I've ever driven just to write was a little over an hour away in San Antonio.

    the best part about his films is that they are totally human. Totally shows you the multi faceted lives and the emotions that people go through. His films feel like they are about real people that's why they are so good. His latest film Licorice Pizza looks like an amazing coming of age story. There's nothing like a good story of young love in 1973 in the San Fernando Valley, sounds like a fantastic novel.

      If the guy who has gotten Screenplay Oscar nominations for half of his filmography (all of which he should've won for but that's besides the point here) says he "feels like a faker as a writer," you know you'll be perfectly fine

    Stephen King says he goes in his writing cabin for 8 hours and bleeds and my method couldn't be any more OPPOSITE... I can sit 2 hours and write nothing, not sitting there bored but actually straining my brain for the words... then other days I write the most brilliant flowing 2 pages with an idea so wildly fukin unique in like 30 mins...

    0:20-ish Tchaikovsky would do that...he said he "couldn't understand" composers who didn't do it like that, who didn't keep regular hours, etc...he said that "the muse never let me down", lol, or something, said something about it not "helping lazy spirits" or something, I forgot what he said, which is what he might have been implying those who didn't have regular hours were, lol...I think Stravinsky also operated like that, holding regular hours, "like a banker", lol, the passage somewhere said...I suspect everyone has their own way of doing things, etc...
