"Writing is easy. Anyone can do it. All you have to do is … Okay, I’m lying. But there are people who think like that. Those who don’t write, usually. They could write a book … they were always good at school essays … it’s just that they’ve always been too busy with important things. But if they had the time they could knock it off in no time at all."
"Everyone in the world loves love. Listen to the words of most pop songs. And what's a movie without a love interest? But again, that’s only part of it. Most of us search constantly for emotional experiences, for an intensity that carries us above and beyond our everyday existence."
"The romantic story has to be resolved along with the dramatic story. The resolution of one implies the resolution of the other since they are inextricably linked. Before you resolve all outstanding issues, you have to bring things to a fever pitch. Add a twist, build suspense and tension to an unbearable level."
