Script is not finished until it's finished. There's many times, partway through a film, when an idea comes, and I say, How beautiful this is.

The nervous system functions in a fourth, unique way, as different as dreaming is from sleeping as sleeping is from waking. When you transcend, it's the only experience that lights the full brain on an EEG machine. It's the only experience that utilizes the full brain.
