Writing's not precious to me. it's not a thing that requires specific environment. you know, it's my job. just like anybody with a job, you have to do your job when you don't feel like it, regardless of how good or bad the conditions are, regardless of how good or bad you might feel on any particular day.

Writing's Not Precious To Me. It's Not

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.

I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. you have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. for an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. i find it's a great thing.

I don’t even know what i’m writing, i have no idea, i don’t know anything, and i’m not reading over it, and i’m not correcting my style, and i’m writing just for the sake of writing, just for the sake of writing more to you… my precious, my darling, my dearest!
