I had an interesting experience recently, where it occured to me to ask myself, “What are you doing?”
The scary thing is, I mostly have no idea.
A lot of the time, I just wing it. When it comes to work, art, getting things done, trying to build and maintain relationships.
All of it.
I’m not sure if there is a guidebook for living life (that would be one hell of a big book), but if there was, who’d have time to read it?
I spend a lot of time talking to beginning filmmakers about how, a) there are a lot of ways to get a film made and, b) just because someone has done it, doesn’t mean they knew what they were doing!
And I think that sums it up. Most of us, we have no clue. We just go through the motions, every day, trying not to get found out that we don’t know as much as others think we know.
But none of us really know. You know?
