The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.

It's very important to set your place in a concrete environment. I think Chekhov said that the important thing when you have a play or any kind of novel is to set the roots in a concrete place.

The best films are because of nobody but the director.

Normal love isn't interesting. I assure you that it's incredibly boring.
