More From Stanley Kubrick

Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. one starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. i read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy i used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.
Book Reading Writing
Music, to me, is the most beautiful form, and i love film because film is very related to music. it moves by you in its own rhythm. it's not like reading a book or looking at a painting. it gives you its own time frame, like music, so they are very connected for me. but music to me is the biggest inspiration. when i get depressed, or anything, i go "think of all the music i haven't even heard yet!" so, it's the one thing. imagine the world without music. man, just hand me a gun, will you?
Beautiful Reading Moving
Music is my life. music runs through my veins. music inspires me. music is a part of me. music is all around us. music soothes me. music gives me hope when i lose faith. music comforts me. music is my refuge.

Well i'm superman, just not action. i'm kind of looking for something with a lot less action and more talking and listening. i also have a film that's premiering vegas film festival, short film, directed by joel kelly, it's called denial and it's a story, short film, 35 mm short film and it's about a man's struggle to choose between the woman of his dreams and his reality, so it's definitely different than superman. so i'm really proud of that.
Dream Struggle Reality
Memory is like fiction; or else it's fiction that's like memory. this really came home to me once i started writing fiction, that memory seemd a kind of fiction, or vice versa. either way, no matter how hard you try to put everything neatly into shape, the context wanders this way and that, until finally the context isn't even there anymore... warm with life, hopeless unstable.
Memories Home Writing
It had also been my belief since i started writing fiction that science fiction is never really about the future. when science fiction is old, you can only read it as being pretty much about the moment in which it was written. but it seemed to me that the toolkit that science fiction had given me when i started working had become the toolkit of a kind of literary naturalism that could be applied to an inherently incredible present.

I'm so thankful i can write songs. i can capture all those memories in my songs and keep those memories alive.
Song Memories Writing
I wrote my first play at the age of 10, 55 years ago, and i've always found it a fantastic relief to imagine i know what things would be like from the point of view of other individuals and to send out signals from where i actually am not. playwrights never need to write from the place where they are.

Your character that you create in your writing not only represents who you are, but also represents a number of people who you've met along the way.

Water, like religion and ideology, has the power to move millions of people. since the very birth of human civilization, people have moved to settle close to it. people move when there is too little of it. people move when there is too much of it. people journey down it. people write, sing and dance about it. people fight over it. and all people, everywhere and every day, need it.
