"...So I don't commit suicide later."

"Yeah."

[AndroidCovenant]

This guy is so talented he can have a great movie career even with having forgotten 2-3 major movie ideas

[vgegoon]

An old saying,
"A dull pencil is better than a sharp memory."

[sablesanctum]

Agreed. I've forgotten so many great ideas. I just remember the feeling of them. It's horrible.

[thl]

He has forgotten better films than Michael Bay has ever made

[gxulien]

Same goes for songs. Hit that record button.

[Leprutz]

This is so true. Today I write everything down. Everything I have not written in the moment was forgotten the next hours if not the day after for sure.

ALWAYS WRITE EVERY IDEA DOWN

[NecroBurt]

I swear everything this man says is so jarring I can’t help but laugh.

[thewavygravy]

This man is quickly becoming an Idol for me.

[MrUtah]

The guy who makes the most bizarre movies is the guy who I relate to the most

[davidw]

He’s absolutely right! So important to write all ideas down. It’s amazing how they can get away from you, even great ideas, if you don’t do this.

[vermolhd]

I love that hes said this at least 5 different times in different interviews in almost the same tone and everythjng every time

[littlefoxx]

David is the only person I've heard talk about this. I've definitely experienced this in writing poems and songs.

[VrakDock]

A true artist is born with that level of passion undoubtly

[callamastia]

you forget it fast too. sometimes i’d wanna write something down but i’m like washing dishes or whatever and put it off then a couple minutes later when i’m done i’ve forgot.

[hoonaignachowaneha]

100% This. I play guitar and when I have an idea I have to write it down or its gone in weeks. I almost never look at the paper again but that simple act of putting pen to paper cements it in my head.

[danaMccabe-dagmarK]

Yep. Same goes for song ideas. You will forget 🥺

[michaelbilgerfilms]

yup! forgot one that i had been building in my mind for days. heartbreaking. write everything minute idea down since

[Tylerdurden]

Best advice ever! The amount of Ideas I have forgotten over the years...

[comeflynextome]

I like writing (stories, poems, music), and this is why I ALWAYS sleep with either paper and a writing utensil or keep my Notes app open on my phone. When you have an idea come to you in a dream...believe me, it falls out of your head before you can finish telling yourself "I won't forget this idea!"
