Cinematography, a military art. Prepare a film like a battle.
Prefer what intuition whispers in your ear to what you have done and redone ten times in your head.
Hostility to art is also hostility to the new, to the unforeseen.
When you do not know what you are doing and what you are doing is the best - that is inspiration.
The crude real will not by itself yield truth.
Laugh at a bad reputation. Fear a good one that you could not sustain.
