"Without a director, without any money pressuring the process, you just write. Once you've done it, it's a complete thing," he said. "You're not selling an idea where somebody says, 'I want to build you a bird,' and they give you the money to do it, and they're expecting a falcon, and you built them a sparrow. And, you always intended sparrow, and we misunderstood, and they're disappointed, and their money's spent. In this case, I make the bird I want to make, and I fly it over to a publisher, and it's complete."
