”There is only one plot—things are not what they seem.”
“There are thirty-two ways to write a story, and I’ve used every one, but there is only one plot – things are not as they seem.”

“All I really know about writing is that if you’re a writer, writing is what you do. The work, intellectual, emotional, physical work, is everything—the means, the ends, the justifications, and the doubts, the ignominy, acclaim, disappointment, and elation, everything that can happen will happen only when and if you write.” (Tony Kushner)

...fidelity to perfectionism...
“If your fidelity to perfectionism is too high, you never do anything.” (David Foster Wallace)
The Theme, succintly
“When
you make a movie, always try to discover what the theme of the movie
is in one or two words. Every time I made a film, I always knew what
I thought the theme was, the core, in one word. In “The Godfather,”
it was succession. In “The Conversation,” it was privacy. In
“Apocalypse,” it was morality.” (F.F. Coppola)

Sincerity/Authenticity/Truth in Art
A
celebrated
modern artist and theoretician claimed that, for art, sincerity is
not enough; truth is of the essence. I am persuaded that a lot of
“sincere art” may not have any aesthetic value. Yet, if you take
the step from “sincerity” to “authenticity,” matters sound
altogether different. Without authenticity there can be no good art.
Authenticity is closer to truth than sheer sincerity. (Ileana
Marcoulesco)
