I had spent so much time watching and admiring other films and their writing that I lost my grip on the notion of a real human being. I had started to write movie people, not real people. At that point, whenever I was tempted to watch a movie, I was turn the other way, and visit somewhere, something to interact with real people all with glorious, complex and individual life experiences. I haunted bars, thrift stores, malls, churches and strip clubs. The result, i began to write REAL people, not REEL people.
