The reason I can't write other kinds is not that I don't value & respect them, but merely that my slender set of endowments does not enable me to extract a compellingly acute personal sense of interest & drama from the natural phenomena of life.” WritingTryingKindDoeI CanReasonValuesInterestNaturalMy OwnFictionDramaWeaknessMediumsEndowmentSlenderConfessingNatural Phenomena Author:H.

“Just by nature, I think in comedy. I think in sketches and what have you. In every drama or action movie I've been in, I have to make a concerted effort not to turn it into a comedy. Every shot, before action is called and after cut is called, I'm usually in some goofy head space. It feels natural to me.” ThinkingFeelsActionTurnsNaturalSpaceEffortComedyCuttingDramaShotsAction MovieGoofy Author:Michael Jai White
