And yet I suppose you mourn the loss or the death of what you thought your life was even if you find your life is better after. You mourn the future that you thought you'd planned.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.

Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected unplanned by me.

One of the main reasons I am so drawn to Hitchcock is that he planned his shots way in advance on story-boards which he designed like classic paintings (he was an art connoisseur). It's why he found shooting on set boring - because he had already composed the film in his head.

Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long and the age of the great epics is past.
