But the cinephile is … a neurotic! (That’s not a pejorative term. ) The Bronte sisters were neurotic, and it’s because they were neurotic that they read all those books and became writers.

I very much write from characters. Those people start speaking, and then I have them in the house with me and I live with them. Then at some point, it's time to get them out of the house.
