Part of my function as a writer is to dream awake. And that usually happens. If I sit down to write in the morning, in the beginning of that writing session and the ending of that session, I'm aware that I'm writing. I'm aware of my surroundings.

But, on the other hand, it is a crapshot anyway, because even the best people can make a bad film.
