"Nobody knows anything"
I had the pleasure of attending a Q&A with William Goldman and John Cleese last week, an entertaining couple of hours all around. The audience was full of working and aspiring screenwriters, and the common theme throughout most of the questions being asked was, "What should I be doing to best advance my career?"
Unfortunately, the common theme through most of the answers to these questions was, "I don't know."
