The main question in drama, the way I was taught, is always, 'What does the protagonist want?' That's what drama is. It comes down to that. It's not about theme, it's not about ideas, it's not about setting, but what the protagonist wants. David Mamet

David Means

David Morrell

The simple act of sitting down and playing something enormously complex and spiritually uplifting on a harpsichord just bores kids to tears. There's no sizzle, there's no grab. But it's the great lesson of serious music, that it invites you to listen, rather than demands that you listen. David Ogden Stiers

Music Great You Simple Tears Down Lesson Complex Kids Bores Something Rather Simple Act Spiritually Demands Invites Grab Than Sitting Uplifting Listen Just Act Serious Playing

David Rakoff

Before I sat down and became a writer, before I began to do it habitually and for my living, there was a decades-long stretch when I was terrified that it would suck, so I didn't write. I think that marks a lot of people, a real terror at being bad at something, and unfortunately, you are always bad before you can get a little better. David Rakoff

You People Better Before Down Living Think Marks Bad Would Something Write Writer Terrified Became Terror Always Real Lot Began Get Being Unfortunately Little Suck Sat Stretch
