My podcast interview with Allan Heinberg (screenwriter of Wonder Woman)

I hope you’ll take a break and listen to my three podcast episodes with Allan Heinberg. Here are some of the nuggets of gold I learned from him during the recording:

“The thing that got me in trouble facing a white page is self-doubt.”

“Any suffering I’ve ever experienced I can put down to my ego.”

“The key to any writing or creating for me is wrestling my ego out of the process.”

“Any time I have put myself first, or what other people will think of me it’s over… you’re not a servant anymore.”

“It’s none of my business what kind of legacy I leave behind. It’s none of my business if anybody remembers anything I do after I leave the room.”

 “The adults in my life made a huge impact on my life because they saw me.”

“Love what you love.  That’s why I got to write Wonder Woman because I loved her for a very long time, and passionately.”

“I feel uncomfortable even saying I feel successful. But I feel very fortunate to be able to make my living doing what I love doing.”

“Put your head down.  Get out a cocktail napkin and get to work.”

“Stop refreshing. Get off your platform. Stop looking at your likes. No good comes from external validation.”

“I think it’s better to offer than to ask for.”
