It's like, you can't have any fun, and if you do have fun, if you do your own thing, you're considered crazy and should be in a mental institution. Now, that's what I find creepy. I'm eccentric. I am not messed up.
One movie I come back to time and again is 'The Hustler.' I don't think there's better dialogue in any film.
I'm of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration.
