A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

No one can advise or help you; no one. There is only one thing you should do. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write, find out wether it spreading out its root in the deepest places of your heart. Delve into yourself for a deep answer ~Rainer Maria Rilke
