Francis Ford Coppola

If you're stuck creatively, how do you get unsuck?

If my intuition doesn't give me an answer, I have a little exercise: What is the theme in a word or two? In The Conversation, it was privacy. In The Godfather, it was succession. I encourage my children to do the same, to break it down. If you have that word, then when you reach an impasse, you just say, "Well, what does the theme tell me?" And usually that will suggest to you which way to go and break the roadblock.
