This kind of directing, i think, is very similar to being a football coach. you prepare your players and place them in the right places, but once the game is on, there's nothing much you can do - you can smoke a cigarette or get nervous, but you can't do much.

Football Player Thinking

More From Abbas Kiarostami

There are several differences between a football game and a revolution. for one thing, a football game usually lasts longer and the participants wear uniforms. also, there are usually more casualties in a football game. the object of the game is to move a ball past the other team's goal line. this counts as six points. no points are given for lacerations, contusions, or abrasions, but then no points are deducted, either. kicking is very important in football. in fact, some of the more enthusiastic players even kick the ball, occasionally.

I remember the chillicothe ballplayers grappling the long island ball players in a sixteen-inning game ended by darkness. and the shoulders of the chillicothe players were a red smoke against the sundown and the shoulders of the rock island players were a yellow smoke against the sundown. and the umpire's voice was hoarse calling balls and strikes and outs and the umpire's throat fought in the dust for a song.

It's late, i'm tired, and your cigarettes are giving me a headache," i growled. "i suppose that's fair." he drew in on the cigarette and let out the smoke. "some women think they make me look sexy." "i think you smoke them so you have something to do while thinking up your next witty line." he choked on the smoke, caught between inhaling and laughing. "rose hathaway, i can't wait to see you again. if you're this charming while tired and annoyed and this gorgeous while bruised and in ski clothes, you must be devastating at your peak.

Sex is difficult to write about because it's just not sexy enough. the only way to write about it is not to write much. let the reader bring his own sexuality into the text. a writer i usually admire has written about sex in the most off-putting way. there is just too much information.
