“The biographies of great artists make it abundantly clear that the creative urge is often so imperious that it battens on their humanity and yokes everything to the service of the work, even at the cost of health and ordinary human happiness. The unborn work in the psyche of the artist is a force of nature that achieves its end either with tyrannical might or with the subtle cunning of nature herself, quite regardless of the personal fate of the man who is its vehicle.” MenWritingHumansEndsMightArtistHumanityForceCreativeClearFateAchieveHe ManCostOrdinarySubtleUrgesVehicleBiographiesGreat ArtCunningUnbornGreat ArtistYokeForces Of NatureHuman Happiness Author:Carl Jung

“The way that I sort of direct the writers is, let's do the best story we can. Let's not worry about production issues. 'How much will that cost? How are we going to shoot that?' Let's not set up those constraints on the writing. I don't think it helps the project to work like that.” ThinkingWayWritingHelpingStoriesWorryIssuesCostProjectsDirectProductionsDo The BestConstraints Author:Jose Padilha
