We live here and now. Everything before and in other places is past. Mostly forgotten. What could, what should be done with all the time that lies ahead of us, open and unshaped, feather-light in its freedom and lead-heavy in its uncertainty? Is it a wish?

Editing rooms are kind of, by definition, a bubble of you and the editor and what you're thinking.

Maybe that's redundant to something else. Maybe we can cut down. " I don't know. It's a brutal, honest process. You've got to be pretty - You can't be sentimental. You have to be. It's a cold process. You can't be nostalgic. You have to make those tough decisions.
I don't like nostalgia unless it's mine.
