"I don't think that you can be prescriptive about anything, I mean, life is too complicated. Maybe there are novels where the author has not in the least thought about it in terms of film, which can be turned into good films"

Paul Auster's quote recommends that life is too complex to be able to recommend a particular way of doing things. He is recommending that even novels that have actually not been written with the objective of being adjusted into films can still be developed into excellent films. This indicates that imagination and creativity are essential when it pertains to making something successful. Auster is recommending that there is no one-size-fits-all method to life which it is important to be available to new ideas and techniques. He is also recommending that it is possible to take something that was not originally meant for a specific function and make it successful. This quote motivates us to think outside the box and to be open up to brand-new possibilities.
