The first thing is that we're being attacked by both the Writers Guild and the Producers Guild. Both of these groups are trying to diminish the importance and strength of the director. They're trying to do it through both frontal and side attacks.

Unbreakable
I wish this heart of mine could be
that unbreakable like a monument for love
Build the stones you could not see
I keep on telling so many lies
So unbelievable
Guess I make it through this time
Hoping you will guild my way
I wish this heart of mine could be
that unbreakable like a monument for love
Build the stones you could not see
I keep on telling so many lies
So unbelievable
Guess I make it through this time
Hoping you will guild my way
Hoping you will guild my way

Do You Want To See Me Succeed Or Fail?
stop comparing me,
i'm not a thing,
but a human being,
i have feelings,
with everything you say,
it only put downs,
for what i'm not doing right,
with my life and how i'm living,
i looked to you,
to guild me and pick me up,
when i fall,
not for you to be like everybody else,
and place me under a label,
NO! ! !
that not me,
and that will never be me,
just as long as you,
be supportive,
and be there for me,
not part of my problem,
cuz at the end of the day,
i see how far i came,
and that all i can ask for myself,
anyday,
have i been true to the person,
i want to be?

Leave me toward where I may spy

Angel By Your Side
I don't know how it got to this very point,
But i know i'll always be there to care.
I can't say that every thing is ok,
Because i can see the tears you're crying.
I can't promise to take the pain away,
But you'll know that i won't stop trying.
When the road may seem so long,
I'll always hold you in comfort.
When you're down and out,
I'll be the strength you can't provide on your own.
I know that it feels you're running out of faith,
Because it's so hard to keep believing.
When the storm of life breaks out,
I will always be there to look out.
In the mist of all your worries and tribulations,
You'll always find me by your side.
You can lay your head on my shoulders,
When your heart is deeply in sorrow.
My ears will always be ready to listen,
When you need someone to talk to.
When ever your heart gasp for happiness,
You'll always find me there to show you one.
Even when the mountains seem so impossible to climb,
There you will find my back to climb on.
You'll always find my hands to hold,
When every where seem so cold.
In the darkest of your hours,
I'll always be the light to guild you.
When ever you find yourself in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you.
I'll make a heart that never break,
When ever your heart aches.
You can pour your heart to me,
When ever you are in agony.
No matter how difficult it may be,
I'll always brighten your face with an angelic smile.
I'll be your guardian angel,
That will see you through the night.
When ever you feel defeated,
And you think you've lost the fight,
Just let me be your angel,
The angel by your side.

A Wheel
A wheel tortures the side of our legs,
Opening the hated sentences of joy as it speaks;
One invention of our intelligence converts
The spoken value of a fatal clause
And murmurs reality of a far-reaching kind.
The wheel grinds to historical help,
Collapsing under colossal strength of forces
That centre on the brilliant light emitted
From the fortune now in sight,
What is the sight of our sensation?
A guild of thieves wonders at wide prospects
Of the villainy escaping the night,
With wheels to carry, and wheels to mutate
The living genes and their powerful effects
Inside the soul of our life that spins around.

People should realize that I shot a Coke commercial back in 1986. So, you know, I've been around a long time. I carry my Screen Actors Guild Card.

To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

I Lookd & In A Moment Run
I look & in a moment run
The poison thro' my veins
Nor Celia think your self too young
to give me amorous pains
When heaven did the Sun create
He shone as bright as now
& wth the fires which guild them yet
The infant starrs did glow.

Writers, as they gain success, feel like outsiders because writers don't come together in real groups.
It's a dumb question, because I don't look at things as a black director, just as a director, so ask me as a director first and we can segue into the colour thing later.

Not Funny
I thought I'd write a funny poem
with rhythm but no rhyming. Gnome.
And so I find myself writing
about nothing important. Sting.
I won't feel any guild, of course
'cause this poem is extra. Horse.
Oh well, I guess this is the end.
It turned out less than funny, friend.

Dramatics Guild
singing and dancing
pointing to a you,
nobody, nobody but you,
crying and begging
for love and then
jumping for joy by reason
of a newly found
self: independent and
exploring, and happy
to be alone, this,
that, and this and that,
pure dramatics guild.
inside the room
the study lamp lights till dawn
writing a thesis
of human affairs
setting aside emotions
black and white in thinking
ablaze in logical deductions
this is his lady
reason and dogma
that is the truth of his
being and you have
never known
what twists await
at the end of this
deliberation.
poetry? side trip to the journey
of life's boring kingdom.
