Sublime

In storytelling, logic is retroactive.

Eliminate “is” and “are” throughout.

The root of all fine character writing is self-knowledge.

“Movies are about making mental things physical.

principals must be written in depth—they cannot be at heart what they seem to be at face.

Never write a line of dialogue when you can create a visual expression.

Story talent is primary, literary talent secondary but essential.

The worlds we create obey their own internal rules of causality.

storytelling is a ritual surrounding a metaphor for life.
