Questions revolving around films. If you want to ask what my writing pieces are? Then let me tell you that I sit on a chair and write with a pen. There is paper in front of me. This is the whole process. Now where do the ideas come from, and why do they come? Can any poet tell? Everyone lies that I roam in gardens and get inspiration".
