The Way To My Heart

I Wrote The Novel [room], And Then I Thought, "this Could Work On Film, And I Want To Be The One To Do It." So I Went Ahead And Drafted It.

I Always Wince A Little Bit When I Send Me To Each Of My New Books. I Wince At Submitting Myself To My Father's Judgment. But, Of Course, He's Such A Fond Father That He Always Writes Back, Saying It's The Greatest Thing Ever Written.

The Collector [john Fowles Book] Does Such A Good Job Of Capturing The Mindset Of A Capturer, And Also That's Become A Banal Trope Of Every Second Crime Novel: The Weirdo, Fetishistic Watcher/stalker/kidnapper/kidnapper Of Women Or Children.

I Thought One Way To Try To Hold On To The Power Was To Write The Script Myself. That Way, I Could Say To Filmmakers, "i'm Not Asking You To Hire Me Unseen. I'm Just Saying, 'here's My Script. Can We Work Together?'" So That Worked Out Well.

I Think I Know What It's Like To Have A Family That The Outside World Sees As Peculiar Or Lacking.
