Goodreads asked Paul Beavis:

How do you get inspired to write?

Paul Beavis I should say I get inspired by books but in truth films have always fired me up. And DVD commentary tracks are a wonderful source for learning about the creative process of story telling. The Godfather trilogy commentaries are very useful with Francis Ford Coppola. And any commentaries by William Goldman, Peter Bogdanovich and Martin Scorsese are all great.
