“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
“At its heartmeat core, writing is about exploring the questions of your heart on the assumption that what intrigues you, what inflames or amuses or ennobles you, will have the same effect on someone else. It's about taking chances, and taking risks, and pushing yourself to be honest in the issues that present themselves.” WritingHeartChanceIssuesRiskEffectsHonestCoreBeing HonestAssumptionPushingExploringIntrigueTake A ChanceTaking RisksPush Yourself Author:J.
