I can’t tell anyone how to write a screenplay because the truth is that anything of value you might do comes from you. The way I work is not the way that you work, and the whole point of any creative act is that. What I have to offer is me, what you have to offer is you, and if you offer yourself with authenticity and generosity I will be moved.

I simply regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world created therein has different rules than my regular human world.

Se un sogno è il tuo sogno, quello per cui sei venuto al mondo, puoi passare la vita a nasconderlo dietro una nuvola di scetticismo, ma non riuscirai mai a liberartene. Continuerà a mandarti dei segnali disperati, come la noia e l’assenza di entusiasmo, confidando nella tua ribellione.

Ho pertanto concluso che i guai sono inevitabili e che la sfida consiste nel trovare il modo migliore per combinarli, il modo migliore di cacciarvisi dentro.

The mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing. Isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination, and consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing and soul-crushing inadequacy. And that’s on a good day.

Ho l'impressione di vivere in un paese in cui abbiamo solo due alternative: portare acqua al nostro mulino o combattere contro i mulini a vento. Entrambe le opzioni mi sembrano molto tristi. Spero che il tempo mi darà torto.

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Il patrimonio di uno scrittore sono i suoi segreti, le sue sconfitte cocenti e inconfessate; il fermentare delle sue vergogne è la garanzia della sua fecondità.

Colui che segue la folla non andrà mai più lontano della folla. Colui che va da solo sarà più probabile che si troverà in luoghi dove nessuno è mai arrivato.

Albert Einstein

Ma io non cerco la salvezza nell'indifferenza: il fremito è la miglior parte dell'umanità. Per quanto il mondo faccia pagar caro il sentimento, l'uomo, quand'è commosso, sente nel profondo l'immensità.

J. W. Goethe

Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

The perks of being a wallflower

"(...) It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them tocarry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it, too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don't like, I'll tell them." She was starting to cry a little. But she wasn't sad. "You know I blamed Craig for not letting me do things? You know how stupid I feel about that now? Maybe he didn't really encourage me to do things, but he didn't prevent me from doing them either. But after a while, I didn't do things because I didn't want him to think different about me. But the thing is, I wasn't being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn't really even know me?" I looked up at her. She had stopped crying. "So, tomorrow, I'm leaving. And I'm not going to let that happen again with anyone else. I'm going to do what I want to do. I'm going to be who I really am. And I'm going to figure out what that is. But right now I'm here with you. And I want to know where you are, what you need, and what you want to do."

‎Nella vita non bisogna mai rassegnarsi, bensì uscire da quella zona grigia in cui tutto è abitudine e sopportazione passiva. Bisogna coltivare il coraggio di ribellarsi.
