I think brutal honesty is extremely important. Don't be afraid of being up-front about your feelings and your life.
It is a hidden fear that somehow, if they are only given a chance, women will suddenly do as they have been done by.
Because I'm the author of my screenplays I know what I'm looking for. It's true that I can be stubborn in demanding that I get what I want, but it's also a question of working with patience and love.
