Quote by Neil Jordan

In Dreams... well, I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire, so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it.

In Dreams... well, I was slightly overcompensating with that

Summary

They feel they may have relied too much on their own preconceived familiar imagery, possibly at the expense of originality. It implies a realization that their approach to creating the dream world might have been excessive and lacking in a fresh perspective.

Conversation. What is it? A Mystery! It's the art of never seeming bored, of touching everything with interest, of pleasing with trifles, of being fascinating with nothing at all.

We rarely quote nowadays to appeal to authority... though we quote sometimes to display our sapience and erudition. Some authors we quote against. Some we quote not at all, offering them our scrupulous avoidance, and so make them part of our white mythology. Other authors we constantly invoke, chanting their names in cerebral rituals of propitiation or ancestor worship.
