“Too many people think there’s a process list or magic trick for this sort of thing, and there’s not. Write and revise and write. Isolate the things you want to write about and the things you want to say and, really, just bloody well write them down. Screenwriting courses and creative writing guides have given people the idea that there’s a miraculous cheat sheet for doing any kind of commercial writing, and it’s bullshit. The idea works or it doesn’t. You’re either good or you’re not. And if you’re not, keep writing until you are. That’s it.”

“‘If you don’t face things then you just go round in that loop, making the same mistakes, acting out your issues in the same tired way, again and again and again, You get stuck if you don’t feel things. I know this, because I spent a lot of time choosing not to feel, because I was afraid of what I was feeling or I didn’t know or understand what I was feeling..and therefore it was much easier to choose to feel - nothing’”
