No one will laugh at how great things are for somebody. - Harold Ramis

Meaning is all that's really left to me... There's a character in my remake of Bedazzled... and he says: 'Every time I reread Camus and Sartre I always say to myself: Why does the existential dilemma have to be so damned bleak? Yes, we're alone in the universe, life is meaningless and death is inevitable - but is that necessarily so depressing? It just puts the burden on us to fill our lives with joy and wonder and weirdness and adventure - whatever it is that makes your heart pound, your mind expand and your spirit soar.

There’s a great rabbinical motto that says you start each day with a note in each pocket. One note says, “The world was created for you today,” and the other note says, “I’m a speck of dust in a meaningless universe,” and you have to balance both things.

My only conclusion about structure is that nothing works if you don’t have interesting characters and a good story to tell.
