Syd Field quotes

Writing should be an adventure, shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, blessed with amazing grace. In theory, of course. (Syd Field)
All drama is conflict. Without conflict, there is no action. Without action, there is no character. Without character, there is no story. And without story, there is no screenplay. View quote
Syd Field
Writing a screenplay is like climbing a mountain. When you're climbing, all you can see is the rock in front of you and the rock directly above you. You can't see where you've come from or where you're going. View quote
Syd Field
What a person does is what he IS, not what he says. View quote
Syd Field
Confusion is the first step toward clarity. View quote
Syd Field
But over the years, I've learned not to believe too much in luck or accidents; T think everything happens for a reason. There's something to be learned from every moment, every experience we encounter during the brief time we spend on this planet. Call it fate, call it destiny, call it what you will; it really doesn't matter. View quote
