If you think about movies that are adapted from books, they never feel like enough. there's always too much cut out in the end. you either make a five hour movie or you leave out stuff that should be in there.

More From Jeremy Sisto

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl
Crush Commitment Fighting
I think the books are the books. they were conceived as books. they weren't conceived as movies. when i write scripts, that's an idea and a situation that i think is a really good idea for a movie. when i'm writing a book, i'm not thinking, "oh, this would be a great movie." this would be a very interesting book. and i think the books are things that cannot really be adapted into another medium.
Book Writing Thinking
I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and i don't know where to begin but i want to try.

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. ten, fifteen years ago, every arts student wanted to be a novelist or a playwright. i’d be amazed if you could find a single one now with such a dead-end ambition. they all want to make movies. not write movies. you don’t write movies. you make movies.
Art Book Writing
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

The first cut i do is usually between five and 10 minutes shorter then the cut that we release. anything i think isn't working or might not work, i don't even put it in the director's cut. and usually it's the studio suggesting i put stuff back in, as opposed to studios saying, "you got to lose 40 minutes," they are always saying, "you've got to gain five minutes."

Here's what i can tell the american people: 95 percent of you will get a tax cut. and if you make less than $250,000, less than a quarter-million dollars a year, then you will not see one dime's worth of tax increase.
Money Cutting Years
Money spent on carbon cuts is money we can't use for effective investments in food aid, micronutrients, hiv/aids prevention, health and education infrastructure, and clean water and sanitation.

Washington continues to encourage ever more ill-considered lending in a misguided attempt to stave off needed market corrections. the currently proposed combination of a nationwide infrastructure spending orgy plus tax-cut bribes does nothing to remedy that.
Cutting Doe Combination
I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
