Francis Ford Coppola in an interview: An essential element of any art is risk. If you don't take a risk then how are you going to make something really beautiful, that hasn't been seen before? I always like to say that cinema without risk is like having no sex and expecting to have a baby. You have to take a risk. I’ve been writing an “out-there” story and questioning if it was too weird, and that quote spurred me to go on with it. How important is risk-taking in your creative process? How have you taken risks with plot? With characters? Can originality exist without risk? I’m starting to think taking risks is a very, very good thing.
