Nothing can ever be a rule in drama, because then you're saying certain things won't ever happen, and that would be very boring.
The minute you start putting words on paper you're eliminating possibilities.
I'm not in a certain type of genre, and I can't be categorized or pigeonholed. That leaves a wide range of what I can do for myself, for other people, and with other people.
There is no privilege in restriction. In other words, I disagree with people who say restriction makes you more creative. I think that's a misleading slogan. I might have been more creative without them than with them.
The attempt to redefine the family as a purely voluntary arrangement grows out of the modern delusion that people can keep all their options open all the time.
I actually found not having a routine was inspiration.
Creative process gives me the most freedom because I can do anything I want on a piece of blank media.
I think people do their bravest work when given an elusive canvas. That would be seemingly the weirdest, but also the most wonderful.
The best technology is when you are free to do what you want.
There are no rules, no models; rather, there are no rules other than the general laws of Nature.
The studio is a time when you can do anything that you want to. You have that freedom.
I'm not one to restrict the potential that 'Dark Souls' has by insisting that only I can work on the titles.
I think there's all these unknown things you can tap into when you just leave things open, and nothing is forbidden. Then you allow yourself to mold that thing that has been created by freedom and spontaneity and flexibility. That's why I avoid limiting performances of actors and characters.
My goal is to just have options.
Art is not predictable. Art is not golf, as great as that may be. There are 360 degrees of choice to make.
As far as being locked into one certain thing, that's not what I want to do. I just want the opportunity to go off and do something else, whether it's plays or musicals or whatever.
It's hard to generalize, because they're all different. When I started, I decided to take as much advantage as I could of the freedom offered by the SF field.
I had a lot of time as a kid to dream. There wasn't much else left to do.
That's the good thing about pop. You can do whatever you like... it's a bendable medium.
What's cool is when you're able to give your audience imagination and you don't have to cage them in like animals.
I was attracted to science fiction because it was so wide open. I was able to do anything and there were no walls to hem you in and there was no human condition that you were stopped from examining.
I believe there are so many other disciplines and themes that we still haven't explored yet. It's infinite what we can apply our creativity to.
If I hear a story or a fact about somebody I don't know and have never met, it's like getting a hollow vessel that you can fill up with whatever you want. That's more tempting to me than to try to replicate what I actually know.
