Script Quotes

I mean, Deadpool has a script, but it’s a very complicated process to find the right filmmaker. We’ll see Picture Quote #1

The script - and a good one - tells you everything that you need to know Picture Quote #1

I was really not familiar at all with Edward Snowden. I like to get that right out of the way and really learned most of what I know from Oliver’s [Stones] script Picture Quote #1

There are a lot of roles in Shakespeare, basically. If I feel that the script is a movie, I would be interested in doing any role of Shakespeare’s Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to take a role in someone’s life when you’re not even part of the script Picture Quote #1

I love making ‘iCarly’ - it’s so much fun, and I love getting the script every week and not really knowing what insane thing I’m going to be doing. It’s just like an adventure every episode; that’s really fun Picture Quote #1

I like to begin every screenplay with a burst of delusional self-confidence. It tends to fade pretty quickly, but (for me, at least) there doesn’t seem to be any other way to start writing a script Picture Quote #1

The big lesson of Reagan is: To think that he was some sort of simple figurehead and didn’t do the thinking and simply read a script in front of him woefully underestimates him. Ronald Reagan was an extremely intelligent person with a real V8 engine under his hood Picture Quote #1

I can’t wait to do a fully improvised script again, to find people who are really comfortable and into it. It’s about the capabilities of the people you’re working with, what are their strengths and weaknesses. Some of the most brilliant actors need the spine of the text to work off of, and there’s no shame in that; they’re actors, not writers Picture Quote #1

When I read [the script] and saw that it was my fanboy wet dream of an Avengers script and that [Agent] Coulson was a big part of it, that was the great day for me. I just drove around the streets with the script in the other seat, giggling Picture Quote #1

On movies, I like to involve the cast in the writing of the script. I like to have a rehearsal period, after which I do the last draft, which gives me a chance to incorporate anything the actors have come up with during the rehearsal period, so I’m very inclusive as a writer Picture Quote #1

I’ve gotten much better at multi-tasking. It’s hard, though. But, writing a script is not totally focused. You’re taking little breaks, all the time. If a kid runs in, you give ‘em a horsey ride. It’s a pretty fluid process Picture Quote #1

I really choose by what I like, I thought ‘Alexander’ was a super smart script. Just [costar] Steve [Carell] alone would have been enough. Gosh, I love working with that guy. He’s just the best Picture Quote #1

The truth is, there are probably eight more Snow White scripts floating around out there. And once one Snow White script got hot, other people started pulling out their Snow White scripts Picture Quote #1

When you play a character it’s the persona you bring across from a book to film, or book to script to film. If I play Frank Sinatra, there’s gonna be things I do in a movie that Frank might not have done, but it’s the personality that comes across Picture Quote #1

I wrote this script in 2003, when I was a humble college student, sitting in my boxers and writing in my dorm room. And I came up with the idea of writing an action-based ‘Snow White,’ with this kind of Huntsman character as kind of a way in. So, that’s something I’m sort of proud of Picture Quote #1

My idea of an actor is to be different persons with different roles. Every time a script interests me, I look for interesting characters because I intend to completely transport myself into it. This happens only because I am a very greedy actor. I am not part of the rat race because I am living a dream Picture Quote #1

What I look for in a script is the plot point and whether they’re strong, obviously, or not, whether the characters are rich or not, and if I can do justice to the character or not. Some movies you look at and the script is so bad that no one can do anything with the script Picture Quote #1

When you first read a script is the purest moment. That’s when you can understand how an audience will ultimately receive it. The first reading of the script is so important because you’re experiencing it all for the first time, and it’s then that you really know if it’s going to work or not Picture Quote #1

When I was asked to play ‘Miss Marple,’ I was given the Kevin Elyot script for ‘The Body in the Library.’ I was a fan of his theatre work anyway, and I just thought it was brilliant. I was immediately taken by ‘Miss Marple,’ so I read some of the novels, and I knew I had to do it Picture Quote #1

No one ever wants the whole script. I give the whole script to people who require the whole script but to those people who don’t require the whole script I don’t give it to them and no one cares. They’re relieved not to have to read extra pages that they’re not in Picture Quote #1

In retrospect, I think that I’ve been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I’ve probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural Picture Quote #1

When you’re tied to one show, you are very much at the mercy of the writers so you can suddenly get a script where you have a heart attack and die. I’ve got to be in The Guinness Book of World Records for having the most heart attacks on television Picture Quote #1

In Canada, I’ve had success raising money. I think I was fortunate enough. But today, I would have to write a very, very bad script not to be financed for the next one. I’m assured at least of the next one, but you’re always [only] as good as your last film. I think it’s true for anyone Picture Quote #1

Unfortunately, we don’t have a depth of African scriptwriters, so it’s easier to Africanize something that already works. Local script writers are giving me James Bond budget scenes that I can’t even produce Picture Quote #1

If the producer doesn’t like you, consequently he reads the script with a very negative view. But I wouldn’t preoccupy myself with that, I don’t give a damn. You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and whatall Picture Quote #1

One of the fascinating things about early writing on slates, on papyrus, even on early handwritten books, is for instance, there were no space between the words. People just wrote in continuous script Picture Quote #1

7th Heaven’ was a big ensemble cast, so everyone would get a turn. Basically, I’d get a script that focused on my character and think, ‘Oh, I’m working every day this week.’ The mindset was I’ve got more to do, so I had to focus Picture Quote #1

It’s much harder to act in a bad film than in a good one. A terrible script makes for very difficult acting. You can win an Academy Award for some of the easiest acting in your career, made possible by a brilliant script Picture Quote #1

I am a fan of all genres. My big thing is to serve the purpose of the script and what the director wants. If it’s a comedy, I want to be funny; if it’s action, I want to bring the action. If it’s drama, I want to be the catalyst for that drama. That’s the fun part; it never gets boring being an actor Picture Quote #1
