I just want to make a beautiful film. i've had it in my head for so long, so i want to try. every now and again i get scared. and that's not really how i operate in songwriting or as sia the artist, the singer. i don't operate from a place of fear. but this is such a new area for me. i still have some insecurity. so, like, once a week i get washed from the top of my skull down to my toes with this vomitous feeling of fear. i think, "just don't do it. you don't have to do it. you're already a singer and a songwriter. really, you don't have to make a movie.".

More From Sia Furler

There are so many things that can provide us with peace. next time you take a shower or a bath, i suggest you hold your big toes in mindfulness. we pay attention to everything except our toes. when we hold our toes in mindfulness and smile at them, we will find that our bodies have been very kind to us. we know that any cell in our toes can turn cancerous, but our toes have been behaving very well, avoiding that kind of problem. yet, we have not been nice to them at all. these kinds of practices can bring us happiness.
Nice Cells Practice
Hello toes," i say. they're good toes. i like that they're long and slender and not the slightest bit stubby. i wiggle them, ten unstubby waves that say, "and hello to you, human host!" except they're toes. i'm talking to my toes. maybe i'm not bored... maybe i'm lonely?
Lonely Talking Bored
I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how i was raised. i speak what i feel... a lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. they're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. i've been living like that - forever in fear - but i know what to say and how to say it now. i ain't scared of myself. y'all may be scared; i'm not scared.
People Forever Half
I'm trying to work out a way to be a singer and to create cool content. i'm willing to do that as an entertainer. but i'm not willing to give up my actual self. and the way the system is built up, there'll be a backlash soon. just recently some people published 11 photos of sia's face. it's a bummer for me because it's going to elevate my profile and make me more recognizable. but i don't look the same as i did when i used to have my photo taken. music is for your ears, not your eyes, right? but film is for your eyes, and i would like to give you something.
Giving Up Taken Eye
I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull or such well-marked supra-orbital development. would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure? a cast of your skull, sir, until the original is available, would be an ornament to any anthropological museum. it is not my intention to be fulsome, but i confess that i covet your skull.
Running Skulls Museums
From a writing standpoint, maybe television is a little more satisfying because it's not all hinging on one thing. you can experiment, week to week, and you can be a little narrower in your scope one week, and then be a little broader the next week. but with film, everything can look the way you want it to look. you can really sculpt the final product. so from a directorial standpoint, film is more satisfying. but, they're both forms of media that i'd like to keep involvement in.

Similar Quotes
However, the difficulties and pleasures of the writing itself are similar for a novel with a historical setting and a novel with a contemporary setting, as far as i'm concerned.
Writing Historical Pleasure
The thing about writing is not to talk, but to do it; no matter how bad or even mediocre it is, the process and production is the thing, not the sitting and theorizing about how one should write ideally, or how well one could write if one really wanted to or had the time.
Writing Sitting Matter
Clear writing is universal. people talk about writing down to an audience or writing up to an audience; i think that's nonsense. if you write in a way that is clear, transparent, and elegant, it will reach everyone.
Writing Thinking People
Whereas there are lots of good novels out there; there are a few good movies out there. people have been writing great poems for years, but there aren't a lot of good comics. i like trying to write them.
