What i react against in other people's work, as a filmgoer, is when i see something in a movie that i feel is supposed to make me feel emotional, but i don't believe the filmmaker shares that emotion. they just think the audience will. and i think you can feel that separation. so any time i find myself writing something that i don't really respond to, but i'm telling myself, 'oh yes, but the audience is going to like this,' then i know i'm on the wrong track and i just throw it out.

More From Christopher Nolan

First i might say that when a person, when a man separates from his wife, at the out start it's a physical separation but it's not a psychological separation. he still thinks of her in, in probably warm terms. and, but after the physical separation has taken, existed for a period of time, it becomes a psychological separation as well as physical. and he can then look at her more objectively. my split or separation from the black muslim movement at first was only a physical separation, but my heart was still there and it was impossible for me to, for me to look at it objectively.

Find a way to say yes to things. say yes to invitations to a new country, say yes to meet new friends, say yes to learning a new language, picking up a new sport. yes is how you get your first job, and your next job, and your spouse, and even your kids. even if it's a bit edgy, a bit out of your comfort zone, saying yes means that you will do something new, meet someone new, and make a difference in your life. yes lets you stand out in a crowd, be the optimist, to stay positive, be the one everyone comes to. yes is what keeps us all young.

If you create something that is asking for people to respond as they're going to respond, you have to allow them to respond as they're going to respond. some of the people are going to be uninterested and some people are going to be mad for some reason, which is their business. that's just the way the world is.

Going Away Want Chains
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
