Powerful Down And Sometimes
You have to get inside the people you are writing about. you have to go below the surface. and that's to a very large degree what all writers are doing - they're trying to get below the surface. whether it's in fiction or poetry or writing history and biography. some people make that possible because they write wonderful letters and diaries. and you have to sort of go where the material is.
Writing People Trying
Think of a rock polisher, one of those drums, goes round and round, rolls twenty-four/seven, full of water and rocks and gravel. grinding it all up. round and round. polishing those ugly rocks into gemstones. that’s the earth. why it goes around. we’re the rocks. and what happens to us—the drama and pain and joy and war and sickness and victory and abuse—why, that’s just the water and sand to erode us. grind us down. to polish us up, nice and bright.

I think we are affected so much by mythical stories and biblical stories, our society being based on the bible - at least the old society is based on biblical terms and laws - that there's more of it in art than people realize. sometimes it comes to the surface, but sometimes it's below the surface, but certainly, it does influence some of my movies.

I hear the words, the thoughts, the feeling tones, the personal meaning, even the meaning that is below the conscious intent of the speaker. sometimes too, in a message which superficially is not very important, i hear a deep human cry that lies buried and unknown far below the surface of the person. so i have learned to ask myself, can i hear the sounds and sense the shape of this other person's inner world? can i resonate to what he is saying so deeply that i sense the meanings he is afraid of, yet would like to communicate, as well as those he knows?
Lying Feelings Important
I'm the one who has to have everybody throw rocks at me all the time, so at least if they're going to throw rocks at me, they're going to throw rocks at me for something i love rather than something i think is not very good, or at least something i think is not finished.
Thinking Rocks Very Good
