More From Baltasar Gracian

I have become a giant fan of the testing process, especially with a comedy. i mean, they tell you what's funny. it's almost tailor-made for people who shoot the way we shoot, trying a million different options and versions of things. because the audience doesn't laugh at a joke, we put in another joke. if they don't laugh at the next joke, we put in another joke. you just keep doing them and you can get the movie to the point where every joke is funny, if you have enough options in the can.

There are as many forms of advice as there are colors of the rainbow. remember that good advice can come from bad people and bad advice from good people. the important thing about advice is that it is simply that. advice.

There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. if they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. you see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. we all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. and that's why advice doesn't work.

What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. the only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.

I keep on repeating something told to me by an american psychologist: "when you are making a joke about someone and you are the only one to laugh, it is not a joke. it is a joke only for yourself." if people are making a joke they have the right to laugh at me but i will ignore them. ignoring doesn't mean that you don't understand. you understand it so much that you don't want to react.

Love consists of a commitment which limits one's freedom - it is a giving of the self, and to give oneself means just that: to limit one's freedom on behalf of another.
