Guido Segal, Screenwriter, Journalist, Film Critic, Instructor: I think the best way to make something is not thinking about the result but just doing it because you feel like you have to.
Film Courage: What does it mean to be bold? I think you’ve said something where you have to be bold to make it in Hollywood. What does bold mean?
Guido: I’m laughing because of the expression. I said it but it makes me cringe because it’s like what is making it? The more time I spend here, the less I know what it means. To get paid I guess to do something you love, you’ve got to be bold in the sense that you’ve got to put yourself out there and it’s really hard. We all struggle with it, sometimes we feel like we’re more comfortable in a place that’s not really comfortable I’d rather not go to that…(Watch the video interview on Youtube here).
