Script Quotes

It slightly depends on your perspective, sort of how you look at these things, but when I sit down to write a script, I’m not planning to write a script; I’m planning to make a film, and so I only see the script as being just a step there Picture Quote #1

In television you don’t have a lot of time to spend with the role or the script. Typically you get a script a week prior to shooting. Sometimes it’s even less time, not enough time to dream about the role Picture Quote #1

I need to push myself. I’m not saying that I just want to do anything that’s shocking, but when you have that combination of a script that’s really beautiful and extremely shocking, it’s exciting for me Picture Quote #1

I felt alive when I read a script and acted out a scene, or sang a song. It was my dream. I’m just very lucky that I’m still doing it and able to earn a living from it Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you do a film because the script is amazing, sometimes you do it because you get to work with amazing people, and sometimes you do a film because they pay you money Picture Quote #1

If you put someone in a room with no script to direct, they’re just going to sit there. Writing scripts is the execution for a show. Then the director takes that and hires people. It’s like trying to build a house without any bricks. You need a great script Picture Quote #1

I feel I do my best work when it’s all there on the page, and I feel that the character is very vivid as I read the script and I’m not having to create stuff and trying to cobble together something. If I have to do that, then I don’t entirely trust what I’m doing Picture Quote #1

I love it when actors come to you with a problem and you have to listen. You’d like them to just get on with it, but it often means that there’s a problem with the script Picture Quote #1

I always tend to see, right after reading the script, the character and how I want to play it. I guess that’s sort of most of the work, preparing for the role, but almost the creation of the character seems to go on as I read through the script Picture Quote #1

A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character Picture Quote #1

You can have a million dollar, 20 million dollar budget or 60 million dollar budget, and if you don’t have a good script, it doesn’t mean a thing Picture Quote #1

What has always been at the heart of film making was the value of a script. It was really the writer who could make or break a film. But as we all know, the writer has always been at the bottom of the creative heap 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

My friends, we all improvise together usually. So we write what I think is a good script but always leave a lot of room to find stuff on the day; and we always do find something. That’s the advantage to having actors who are, in their own right, writers Picture Quote #1

What I mostly do is take the script, analyse the hell out of it, see what’s in there, see what kind of person I’m dealing with, and then forget I’m playing a father and just play a person who exemplifies all those things Picture Quote #1

I always find that it’s when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor Picture Quote #1

I feel very blessed in my career to have been able to bounce back and forth between different things, television and film, comedies and some dramas, but I am, um, as long as the script inspires me and there good people, that’s it. I’m in Picture Quote #1

I’ve been involved with some huge studio projects that have been bloody awesome. It all starts with a great script, doesn’t it? Picture Quote #1

If I read a script and find it engaging and I start making choices in my mind on how to approach the work, than that’s a good indication that it is something worth pursuing Picture Quote #1

I’m not a big fan of table reads or sitting around a table and reading a script. I’d rather do it on set and do it for real Picture Quote #1

When I read a script, I have to see the funny, and if I can see it’s funny, it helps me to be able to transmit that Picture Quote #1

I used to write stories and poetry, but for some reason I have it in my head that if I’m going to write, I have to write a script Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have a period piece where you have to research around it but, if the writers have done their homework well enough, the information is all in the script Picture Quote #1

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I’ve read as an actor, and I’m a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact Picture Quote #1

If I get two lines in the script, I somehow turn it into 20. I’ve got a bit of a bad habit of doing that, of just embellishing my little moment Picture Quote #1

If you want to be a filmmaker, ask yourself if you could imagine doing any other job. If you can, that’s a script! Picture Quote #1

A movie script more than anything else is a plan of action for the crew. Everybody in the crew looks at the script to see what they’re going to do. It has to contain where you are, and how many people are there, and what they do, and what time of day it is, and what time of year it is Picture Quote #1

To be fair to ourselves, in almost every original script, the timing is actually worked out down to the minute Picture Quote #1

If you sat down and you wrote a script, you may write something that’s way beyond what you’ve ever seen me do, but if you thought of me to do it, I would be flattered to be asked to do something other than be wise Picture Quote #1

Every film I try and make it the way I see it in my head, and it really just depends on the script and the people I’m working with or whatever interests me at that particular time Picture Quote #1
