“A lot of people say they want to be great, but they aren’t willing to make the sacrifices necessary to achieve greatness. They have other concerns, whether important or not, and they spread themselves out.”

“… that’s totally fine, after all, greatness is not for everybody.”

“From a very young age — a very young age — I devoured film and watched everything I could get my hands on. It was always fun to me. Some people, after all, enjoy looking at a watch; others are happier figuring out how the watch works. It was always fun to watch, study, and ask the most important question: WHY?”

“The BIGGEST element that changed over time, however, was I went from watching what was there to watching for what was missing and should have been there. I went from watching what happened to what could have and should have happened. Film study eventually became IMAGINING alternatives, counters, options, in addition to the finite details of why some actions work and others don’t.”
