Script Quotes

It’s hard to get a great idea sometimes. When you get a good one and you have a good script, you want to keep shepherding it to make it happen Picture Quote #1

I’d love to see a good script of one of my books, in these years of animations and comic book sequels, and had so many written over the years, but none quite clicked Picture Quote #1

It’s rare that a good writer will sit down and write a good script. Writers are greedy too, and they don’t want to work without getting paid. But quality will find its way out Picture Quote #1

Nobody is out to sabotage an entire script and do an improvisational experiment of a movie, but when they’re feeling something in the moment, let them make it their own. That’s what makes them great actors Picture Quote #1

If it was a great script and a great character, I would love to do a romantic comedy Picture Quote #1

It could be a great script but the director is not the right person for me to work for at this time. So there are a lot of elements that come into play and a lot of variables, but more than anything it’s got to be a great script and a great character Picture Quote #1

I’m always looking for something very different from anything I’ve done. I’m attracted to a great script, and not necessarily a great character Picture Quote #1

I have always been interested in theatre and after reading the script for THE INFLICTION OF CRUELTY, I thought that being part of this show and the Fringe would be a great experience Picture Quote #1

To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script Picture Quote #1

No matter how great the script, the actual film will only be a distant relative of it - it will never be an identical twin Picture Quote #1

I think a badly crafted, great idea for a new film with a ton of spelling mistakes is just 100 times better than a well-crafted stale script Picture Quote #1

They needed someone to write a script of The Great Gatsby very quickly for the movie they were making. I took this job so I’d be sure to have some dough to support my family Picture Quote #1

When I write a play, and we read it for the first time, the great fear is that everybody is going to say, ‘You’re a bum and you can’t write. This stinks.’ and throw the script in the garbage. The great hope is that they’re all going to lift me up on their shoulders and carry me to the streets, singing, ‘He’s a genius, he’s a genius!’ Picture Quote #1

[Before I Go To Sleep] script was a great journey with all the twists and turns that were kind of unexpected. I had to finish the script, and I thought if we can emulate this in the film, it’s going to be a really good film Picture Quote #1

You can have a great script, or a great director and a bad script, and get a great movie. Nothing really guarantees anything Picture Quote #1

If you have a script that’s not great, if you have a great director, you can make a great movie, but if you have a great script with a director who’s not good, never are you going to have a good movie Picture Quote #1

I think that’s a great opportunity, to pick a script where you can build up a good skill. I think the main thing I look for when I look at scripts is if it’s inspirational. If it’s something that teenagers can relate to. And is it something that the audience is going to get something out of. If not, then it’s really not worth doing Picture Quote #1

Since I worked with Danny Boyle before on Slumdog Millionaire, we have great success and everything. So, when I first got the script and the screenplay of Simon (Beaufoy) and I was reading it, even before the shoot, some kind of sounds came into my mind and I put some stuff [down] and sent it to Danny when he was cutting the movie Picture Quote #1

I wouldn’t be interested in [nowadays] television simply because I think it goes too fast. Except if something was maybe a play on television or some great television script Picture Quote #1

Just play the moment, that’s the fun of it. You just play the moment. It’s great writing and very clever writing, I think it’s witty. And I have those great clothes. You have a great, witty, intelligent script and you look like a million dollars, because we have a great costumer, and it’s a pretty good place to begin Picture Quote #1

The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion Picture Quote #1

What I look for in a script is something that challenges me, something that breaks new ground, something that allows me to flex my director muscle. You have got to think fast in this business, you’ve got to keep reinventing yourself to stay on top Picture Quote #1

I do music because I can just pick up my guitar and sing, and completely satisfy, instant gratification. I don’t need a script, I don’t people, I don’t need anything, cameras, I just have myself and my guitar, or keyboard Picture Quote #1

I’m so respectful of good writing. It’s the blueprint for the movie. You have to have that script there because, if you don’t, you’re going to have problems. It’s very important. It’s also a gut instinct Picture Quote #1

When I read a script, I’ll have a very visceral gut reaction to what does this mean to me? How does she feel in my skin? Could I play this role? Picture Quote #1

To me, movies and music go hand in hand. When I’m writing a script, one of the first things I do is find the music I’m going to play for the opening sequence Picture Quote #1

Composers today get a TV script on Friday and have to record on Tuesday. It’s just dreadful to impose on gifted talent and expect decent music under these conditions Picture Quote #1

I think part of the problem sometimes is that there’s so much happening in my books, to whittle it down into a single script is hard Picture Quote #1

I have been in five Harry Potter films and never read a ‘Harry Potter’ book. If you are an actor, all you have is the script you are given. If you read the book, you might get disappointed about what’s been left out Picture Quote #1
