When i write, i'm still imagining a kid reading it on paper. i read e-books when i travel, but in general i still prefer holding an old-fashioned book in my hands. there's a special, tactile experience.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.

If a thing is old, it is a sign that it was fit to live. old families, old customs, old styles survive because they are fit to survive. the guarantee of continuity is quality. submerge the good in a flood of the new, and good will come back to join the good which the new brings with it. old-fashioned hospitality, old-fashioned politeness, old-fashioned honor in business had qualities of survival. these will come back.
Business Style Survival
My advice is this. for christ's sake, don't write a book that is suitable for a kid of 12 years old, because the kids who read who are 12 years old are reading books for adults. i read all of the james bond books when i was about 11, which was approximately the right time to read james bond books.
Book Reading Writing
I doubt if i shall ever have time to read the book again -- there are too many new ones coming out all the time which i want to read. yet an old book has something for me which no new book can ever have -- for at every reading the memories and atmosphere of other readings come back and i am reading old years as well as an old book.
Memories Book Reading
As i said just now, the world has gone past me. i don't blame it; but i no longer understand it. tradesmen are not the same as they used to be, apprentices are not the same, business is not the same, business commodities are not the same. seven-eighths of my stock is old-fashioned. i am an old-fashioned man in an old-fashioned shop, in a street that is not the same as i remember it. i have fallen behind the time, and am too old to catch it again.
Character Past Men
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.

My mother was an amateur singer, my father was an amateur drunk.
Mother Father Drunk
As i never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like, were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. the shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. from the character and turn of the inscription, "also georgiana wife of the above", i drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly.
Mother Father Tombstone
When these parenting years have passed, something precious will have flickered and gone out of my life. thus, i am resolved to enjoy every day that remains in this fathering era.
