Robert McKee
“Sí yo fuera este personaje y en estas circunstancias nuevas, ¿qué haría?". Tras encontrar el camino hasta esa reacción y esa acción, volvemos a salir de ese punto de vista y preguntamos, "¿qué sería lo contrario?”
Robert McKee, Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting

Carlos Fuentes
“Pero secretamente añadí que consideraba a Félix como algo mío, el hermano que vivió el lado difícil de la vida que a mí no me tocó, el amante platónico que todas las noches se tendía junto a mí en la cama convertible y me contaba extraordinarias películas que jamás se filmaron o más bien superpelículas ideales fabricadas de trozos que él amaba particularmente, un rostro, un gesto, una situación, un lugar arrebatados a la muerte por la cámara”
Carlos Fuentes, The Hydra Head
