Slogans for the Screenwriters wall

I went round to a friends new house last week. They had added their favourite quotes on the wall so I started thinking about what I would have on my wall, or where I would even source these quotes from (Instagram, of course).
Here are my two favourites from the reading and why:

‘Comedy is hard’ – I was planning my year 12 english strategies for perhaps my least favourite three hours of my life thus far. I picked the creative route. Perhaps the best advice I was given by my tall, stern, Irish teacher was “You’re not funny. Don’t try and write funny stories”. This was directed at the whole class, not just me but definitely drummed it into me – comedy is hard.

‘Every character is important’ – I agree. Ernt Lubitsch films reiterate the importance of secondary characters. They paint the film with extra colours and tones. I hope my work credits all characters.
