Ideas (and Thank You, Whit Stillman)
Posted on 27 January 2010
I like juggling ideas as they come, choosing the ones which seem like good ideas. You never know until you start materializing an idea (drawing it or writing it down) if it is a good idea or a less good idea (I hate to say “bad” idea because we often learn the most by trying out those ideas, even when the results take us to all the wrong places). I’m excited to jot ideas down, sketch them and keep them. My first agent, Whit Stillman, who became an important film maker and director (Metropolitan, Barcelona, Last Days of Disco) told me to keep all my art and book ideas until they’re ready to be used, because they will be there for me even if I don’t use them all right away. He was right.
