Script Quotes

With a film, you have to pare down and take stuff out and squish it all down into a 110 page script Picture Quote #1

I have a large personal collection of pictures. For every project, I choose images. Usually I don’t do this until I’ve done an extensive script breakdown and distilled the text down to poetic form. I have to plant enough seeds so that there will be vibration Picture Quote #1

I’ve worked with genius performers. Sometimes they created great work with a bad script... but not often. Play it safe: write well Picture Quote #1

You have the capacity to change the plot line of your life, even if you’ve been acting from the same script since before you can remember. No matter what has happened up to this point, you have the right and the capacity to be happy. You are an innately creative being, capable of writing a love story worth living Picture Quote #1

On day I noticed that something happened that looked like a dramatization of the inner script of my psyche Picture Quote #1

I find that most of my scripts have a lot more scenes than most films, so the average movie might have 100 scenes, my average script has 300 scenes Picture Quote #1

Unless you loosen the hold that your past has on you, your future will unfold in much the same way... it is time to begin writing a new script that accurately reflects the beautiful, powerful, and worthy being you are Picture Quote #1

All of the good movies are based on how that story was told. And you cannot do it with a bad script, that’s for sure, no matter who Picture Quote #1

The root of any film project for me is this inner need to express something. What nurtures this root and makes it grow into a tree is the script. What makes the tree bear flowers and fruit is the directing Picture Quote #1

You have the capacity to change the plotline of your life, even if you’ve been acting from the same script since before you can remember Picture Quote #1

You can’t fix a bad script after you start shooting. The problems on the page only get bigger as they move to the big screen Picture Quote #1

When I read a script, I try not to judge the characters. I try to have an open mind and really see what it makes me feel Picture Quote #1

A script is utterly useless in and of itself; it’s only of any worth the minute your actors, your designers, your directors come into being Picture Quote #1

I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it Picture Quote #1

If the script grabs me and appeals to me, I’m really very keen to work on it Picture Quote #1

I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don’t you? Picture Quote #1

Some actors count their lines as soon as they receive a script. I’m the opposite. I try to see how many lines I can whittle down. You can say just as much in 4 as you can in 14 Picture Quote #1

Very often on some of this stuff when I’d have to go to work. I’d just give the script a cursory glance. I had no training, and I was a quick study, so nobody knew how involved or not involved I was. But I look at that stuff now and I can see I wasn’t involved, and I wasn’t very good Picture Quote #1

I really believe that when you’re playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I’m pulling from things from my own life, then I think I’m being disingenuous to the character and the story Picture Quote #1

I love to play with language; make it do tricks, turn a word inside out to see if it’s got a hidden meaning tucked away somewhere, or perhaps find that it’s capable of an extra entendre or two... Plotting is nothing I did, or do, naturally. It is the hardest part of the writing process. No matter how many times you plot a script successfully, the next one, representing new and uncharted territory, convinces you that you really don’t know how to do it at all Picture Quote #1

I usually write very few stage directions. I think a lot of that is a waste of time. The art of screenwriting is in its terseness, saying a lot with a little. I have no patience when I read a script where the writer describes this guy and what he’s wearing and his glasses and his hair Picture Quote #1

I like to hold a book. When someone sends me a script, I ask for a hard copy or print one out Picture Quote #1

You either learn your way towards writing your own script in life, or you unwittingly become an actor in someone else’s script Picture Quote #1

Once, I optioned a novel and tried to do a screenplay on it, which was great fun, but I was too respectful. I was only 100 pages into the novel and I had about 90 pages of movie script going. I realized I had a lot to learn Picture Quote #1

The script is the coloring book that you’re given, and your job is to figure out how to color it in. And also when and where to color outside the lines Picture Quote #1

I love shooting, when the character is interesting and the script is interesting, but the research beforehand is really fun. The whole process makes me anxious and restless, and I have trouble sleeping, just trying to figure out the character Picture Quote #1

I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you’re going to get that next script and you’re done Picture Quote #1

Getting movies made is not as difficult as people think. Making movies is easy. You get a script, you get a director, you raise the money, you make the movie Picture Quote #1

I read a script and I know immediately whether that role is for me or not Picture Quote #1

If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before Picture Quote #1
