• I said it before and I’ll say it again: books are dead, plays are dead, poems are dead: there’s only movies. Music is still okay, because music is sound track.

Not write movies. You don’t write movies. You make movies.

You will always be dead, in a city of ice, snow falling into your ear. You have already done all of this and will do it again.
