life-is-short forever life-is
Life is short, death is forever
want like-you truth-is
Maybe the truth is I really want to like you instead.
character ideas people
You don't have ideas when you're sitting in that sort of sterile little place, and you're not around people. The most boring scenes are the scenes where a character is alone. I just need that dynamic of other people around me to get my work done.
art clever phones
Deliver me from Swedish furniture. Deliver me from clever art. And the phone rang and Tyler answered. "If you don't know what you want," the doorman said, "you end up with a lot you don't." May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect. Deliver me, Tyler, from being perfect and complete.
art artwork
It's funny how the beauty of art has so much more to do with the frame than the artwork itself.
book dark would-be
This would be...a book that would be a trapdoor down into some place dark. A place only you could go, alone, when you opened the cover. Because only books have that power.
jobs fighting shopping
Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight. Prove you're alive. If you don't claim your humanity, you will become a statistic.
book grandmother comfort
I'm not really into comfort books. There are too many of those as it is. Just sort of narcotic books, like my grandmother used to read. They have value like Paxil has value, but there's plenty of them in the world already. There's a shortage of confronting, stimulating, exciting books.
real real-life ever-after
The same as real life, there is no happily ever after.
gone thousand stills
There's still a thousand places I haven't gone to die.
nice feels-right right-now
It's nice to see something more pathetic than I feel right now.
book reading writing
The strength of film is its accessibility and immediacy. But the strength of books is that freedom to really depict anything you want because people are going to be reading it in private. So, I'm always trying to write with the immediacy and the constant motion of film but I'm also trying to write with the complete freedom of subject matter that books have.
fate hands
Just let your hand drop; and let fate decide for you.
forever trying lasts
Everybody's trying to make every minute of the present last forever. Preserve every second.
