On top of that, if you substitute the word writing for acting it pretty much sums up my current thinking about the creative process of writing. I believe for myself that more and more it is about turning up to the page and letting the story get told, not an intellectual process, something much more viseral. I've discovered that my best work comes when I just let the words flow, not working to a plan or any sense of where the story is going. Of course much of this thinking is related to my recent decisions to turn my back on commercial film making and concentrate on my development as an avante garde film maker.
I can not thank you enough for letting me read that. You would not believe how important it was for me to read that today. Tom's a great actor, I've always thought so and now I understand why. Could you pass on my sincere thanks if you get the opportunity.
