My advice to anyone adapting a novel is that once they've read it and learnt to understand it, then they must throw it away and never look at it again!
“Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.”
“And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge.”
