“The only thing that I always do - is once I've taken on a job, even just to do one scene in a movie, I ask myself, "What's happened the moment the kid was born, until page one of the script?"

And I enjoy that part as much as I enjoy any part of making movies.” MomentsKidsJobsAsksEnjoyBornSimpleAnswersTakenHappenedAmountScenePagesInfiniteScripts Author:Viggo Mortensen
“Once I'd worked out that I couldn't possibly expect people to enjoy a monstrous, 3000-page book, I realised I could in fact create a labyrinth of a story with four different points of entry.

So depending on which order you read them, the implications and angles would change. To get that right, each one of the books had to have its own personality and texture -- even though they are connected, they are very different creatures.” PeopleBookDifferentFactsStoriesOrderEnjoyFourPersonalityCreaturesCreatingPagesConnectedAngleRealisedImplicationsTextureMonstrousEntryLabyrinthCreating Something Author:Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy.
