Script Quotes

You’d go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air Picture Quote #1

With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this Picture Quote #1

I love being on stage if I’m not on a set. If I’m at home, I’m usually in my office editing or reconstructing my website or whatever it may be. I just love putting creativity into a performance, so if the right script comes along, and I certainly am reading comedies and dramas now, then I’m ready willing and able to give it a shot Picture Quote #1

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire Picture Quote #1

I think a good script is a rare thing, and I think no matter who you are you have to fight for the good ones Picture Quote #1

I’m attracted to stories that excite my imagination, stories that, as I’m reading the script, I feel it, I can see it, I can hear the characters. I’m attracted to characters that are real, that tap into something inside me that I haven’t explored yet Picture Quote #1

Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time Picture Quote #1

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you’re turning the story into a totally different thing; the narrative of film is different from that of a book Picture Quote #1

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I’ve finished reading the script Picture Quote #1

A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you’re going to have a good movie Picture Quote #1

There are definitely reasons to do certain things, but I like to stick to good director, good actor, good script Picture Quote #1

I have always believed that chemistry can’t be created between two people. You either have it or you don’t. The script can only enhance it Picture Quote #1

There’s a scientific hypothesis that every person’s name is a primary suggestive command that contains the entire script of their life in highly concentrated form... According to this point of view, there is only a limited number of names, because society only needs a limited number of human types. Just a few models of worker and warrior ants, if I could put it like that. And everybody’s psyche is preprogrammed at a basic level by the associative semantic fields that their first name and surname activate Picture Quote #1

You can’t write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be Picture Quote #1

It’s much simpler to be tortured on camera or to be filmed losing your mind. Whereas a script that has characters who are honest, witty and genuine is often much harder to act Picture Quote #1

Good actors never use the script unless it’s amazing writing. All the good actors I’ve worked with, they all say whatever they want to say Picture Quote #1

Film and television are just different. Film is cool because its a complete package. You know the beginning, middle, and end. You can plan it out more, which I like. But with television you get a new script every week, so its constantly a mystery as to what youre going to be doing Picture Quote #1

A friend of mine told me, you know your obsession with girls who talk like sexy babies? You have to put that into your script Picture Quote #1

I don’t like to intellectualize about my acting. I don’t sit around and study the pages of a script over and over again. I don’t worry whether the period is contemporary or three hundred years ago. Human beings are all alike. The main thing in acting is honesty, to feel the humanity and get to the essence of the character. You can’t put anything into a character that you haven’t got within you Picture Quote #1

I’m probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don’t prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it Picture Quote #1

Everyone can do a character the way they want to do it, unless the director tells them not to, which isn’t very common. I like to do my characters, if it’s not specific in the script, as myself Picture Quote #1

When you leave here today and commence the next stage of your life, you can follow someone else’s script, try to make choices that will make other people happy, avoid discomfort, do what is expected, and copy the status quo. Or you can look at all that you have accomplished today and use it as fuel to venture forth and write your own story. If you do, amazing things will take shape Picture Quote #1

Here’s what I didn’t know when I was starting out that I now know…I thought when you were starting out it was really hard to write because you hadn’t broken in yet, you hadn’t really hit your stride yet. What I found out paradoxically is that the next script you write doesn’t get easier because you wrote one before…each one gets harder by a factor of 10 Picture Quote #1

Well, it’s such an intricate, beautiful script about eight professional robbers pulling a heist, and it deals with elements of betrayal, trust, instinct, and need for relationships Picture Quote #1

If I don’t have a script I adore, I do one I like. If I don’t have one I like, I do one that has an actor I like or that presents some technical challenge Picture Quote #1

If I made a mistake in singing a song or in the script, I could have some fun with it, then retain any of the fun that sounded amusing Picture Quote #1

The sanserif only seems to be the simpler script. It is a form that was violently reduced for little children. For adults it is more difficult to read than serifed roman type, whose serifs were never meant to be ornamental Picture Quote #1

Life actors never rehearse and need no script. A life actor uses only what is available, nothing more, nothing less Picture Quote #1

I am going to have to stick to the script. If I muck around with the words it will defeat the object Picture Quote #1

Don’t always worry about what your next line is supposed to be. There is no script. Live your life. Be in this moment Picture Quote #1
