Script Quotes

Of course, when you work with actors and when you work on a script everything that you know about the human experience can’t possibly go in Picture Quote #1

I started writing ‘Leaves Of Grass’ when my professional life was falling apart somewhat. I just had a movie implode in pre-production. And so I came back licking my wounds to New York, where I live, and started to write a script about a protagonist for whom the exact same thing happened: His life was falling apart Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked on all sorts of things, like the sci-fi stuff for Vin Diesel, where the script is numbered and is in unphotocopy-able colours and your name is stamped into every page. And it doesn’t really help because it creates a false sense of specialness about the thing Picture Quote #1

I watch a lot of TV - ‘Perfect Strangers,’ ‘Family Matters,’ ‘Who’s the Boss?’ - then I go over my notes in the script, lock it into my head and go to bed Picture Quote #1

I’m not famous for my back story investigations; I’m lucky that I work with good writers and it’s usually in the script Picture Quote #1

I had a feeling about directing Cocoon II: The Return. At first I wasn’t too interested because it was a sequel. Then I read the script and was excited by the relationships and its mystic quality Picture Quote #1

It just gets frustrating playing the girlfriend, It’s just this awful feeling, sitting in your house, waiting for a script to come. I like to be more proactive Picture Quote #1

Your structure and format may not be perfect, and you may not have picked the perfect franchise, but if I pick up a script, and the characters are real, whole, complicated and come from a place of somebody who really is feeling it, that’s what people remember Picture Quote #1

My feeling about the movies is that most of them are terrible. If you don’t have a decent script and a decent director, forget it Picture Quote #1

Success is not important to me, nor are power or money. If the script feels good, then I’m in. It’s that simple Picture Quote #1

I read the script for ‘Guncrazy’ in 1985 and loved it because it was one of the few scripts I’d come across that revolved around a strong female character Picture Quote #1

Often, I’ll read a script and the female character’s an extension or serves some sort of purpose in terms of the male character’s narrative and it just isn’t fully formed. But they will be very beautiful. Whether a secretary or a doctor or a vet, they will be very beautiful Picture Quote #1

Much to my surprise, there’s a sense for people in the cable industry that fiction writers might actually be good at script writing. You can write dialogue! Picture Quote #1

I research the role, and if it’s a literary character, I read the book, and if it’s an historical figure, I research documents and biographies. If it’s a fictional character, I work off the script Picture Quote #1

For me, I’ve always been one that reads a script and has been ready, wiling and able to go out and fight for parts Picture Quote #1

The script is the foundation, but it’s not the full story for the film, which only comes alive with the actors Picture Quote #1

I keep every script from every film that I ever made because it’s like a workbook of that time in my life Picture Quote #1

I love TV, don’t get me wrong. But with film, you’re just banging out this one product, and you’re not waiting on another script. You have your script. It’s great in that way. It’s as close to theater as you can get Picture Quote #1

A good project but a poor director will always make a mediocre film, but an average script and good director can make a good film, as he will put in everything to make the film look good Picture Quote #1

As a screenwriter, there’s so many layers you have to go through in order to tell your story. You have to write the script, get money for the script, shoot it, find distributors, make it into film festivals, all of that just to get to your audience Picture Quote #1

Liberace’s a great film. It’s a great piece of material. I have a great script and it’s a great score Picture Quote #1

We can have the final word on hate, neglect, disease and all the other insidious characters that still script their way into our stories...for now, but not forever Picture Quote #1

Improv plays such a huge role in finding great lines - you’ll be surprised at what comes out of your mind inadvertently. A lot of times it’s better than a script you’ve worked out ahead of time Picture Quote #1

When I take on a role, all I tend to do is get to know the script and ask millions of questions, and keep fine tuning what I think the character is trying to say Picture Quote #1

The script of a play is not a finished product: It’s a set of instructions Picture Quote #1

I prefer working, period. I think that I like doing film more just because when you get a script, you have the story from start to finish, so you can really find the character’s arc, and when you walk away from it, you know you’re sort of powerless to what happens Picture Quote #1

With ‘Suffragette,’ I felt that a female writer would be good, and considering the subject matter, who would be better to write the script than Abi Morgan? She was the first choice, and she happens to be a woman Picture Quote #1

First, you do a piece of material that begins and ends and has a flow; it’s not chopped up as in a film, where in an extreme case you might be doing the last scene of the script the first day that you go to work, and you don’t know enough about the character you’re playing Picture Quote #1

City of Bohane’ has been optioned for film, and I’ve finished a first draft of the script Picture Quote #1

Picking projects, it’s always director first and then script. Those two things are pretty much head-to-head Picture Quote #1
