Remember that feeling when you were a kid of really fanning out about stuff. Never let that go. It’s easy to become jaded. But stay a fan. It feels so good to be a fan of something in a world full of jealous Shondas. For example I am Jerry Lewis’ biggest fan. Literally no one likes him as much as I do. Also to elaborate I think it’s good to prolong idiots bliss. I try to stay as mentally primitive with my “creative processes” as much as possible because that’s when you are the most prolific and uninhibited in your work. I would do anything to avoid getting bent out of shape or feeling held back. I’d rather shoot a movie on tape with no money than try to get something made for 3 years. Just churn stuff out and move on to the next big idea. Also yearning. I’ve been yearning a lot.

🕊It no longer rules your life, lingers in the back of every thought, controls your free and occupied time, makes you feel like an utter pervert in the extent to which you seek out interviews and any online presence, nor sends you into an existential frenzy as to whether you have a crush on or want to be this person. You’re free! And now that you’re not wholly consumed with some talented stranger you can go back to enjoying the work the way you did right before it turned into a full blown obsession but now there’s a warm fondness from the time and intensity you’ve given to this thing you now know you love, the love that now makes this thing (album, movie, book, artwork, etc) a part of you and loving it is almost like loving yourself—hearing the song in public is like hearing the sound of the soft animal of your body (subdued to a whisper) and that’s all it is! something tender, something remembered, an embrace of something deeper, but not as destabilizing as it once was.

I think there’s an attitude of “I was here first” or something, some sort of pride in having been in the thing in question’s corner for a long time, which like, very cool! you called it!—if anything, this development should affirm your confidence in your own “good taste”, whatever that happens to look like—but I truly feel delighted when someone I’ve been rooting for makes it big. Parker Posey brought this to mind, obviously. I have loved her since the first time I saw her incredible turn in Josie and the Pussycats, and even though I don’t have any real intention to watch this new White Lotus season, I get a tremendous sense of satisfaction from seeing her get the acclaim I think she’s deserved her whole life. I think it’s fantastic. I wish everyone liked what I like as much as I like it. A huge win for me.

😃been running my newsletter project for a few months now - it makes basically no money and takes up a ton of my time, and i’ve frequently considered dropping it due to the tight budgetary situation i’m in atm. i am always glad i choose not to, and the reason why is simple - it is a project that people like enough to tell me directly that they like it, and that gives me motivation to keep being creative in my life generally
big joel has this video where he says something along the lines of “it’s totally fine to make things because you think they will be popular, because you’re a human being and it’s natural to want to be recognized by other human beings.” of course you shouldn’t cater your entire worldview and personality for the whims of others, but it is perfectly fine (and frankly necessary for your mental health) to, from time to time, make a thing primarily because you think people will like it. it will give you the necessary confidence for you to pursue the moonshot when the time comes

😄I’m going to be the first director to leave the bloopers in the movie. Why not.I love seeing people have a good time. When I watch the “Friends” gag reel It sends me to the moon. It gets me caught between the moon and New York City!!! What I would give to have been a part of something like that. Or a part of anything. I hope to be a part of something, anything, one day.

♥️I think everyone just needs to have more compassion and stop being so annoying online. Everyone treats politics like fashion trends. Just be a good person.

🗽I like coming close to changing my ways.. Mixing things up… Ordering something new on the menu.. Making a grande plan, but backing out of it last minute is really is always what it comes back to ultimately. I know who I am and what I like and there is no need to conform. I have made a nice small world for myself and know what I like.
