Scripts Quotes

I love working on scripts. I love coming up with ideas about what people would dress like or talk like. I love all that Picture Quote #1

I barely read. I’m not a good reader at all. Rather than reading, I used to sit in front of the TV and watch black-and-white cowboy movies. I’m a painfully slow reader. It’s really bad as an actor, because you have to read a lot of scripts. It takes me like an average of three hours to read a script, which is pretty poor Picture Quote #1

Gone-Away World’ was a shotgun blast, an explosion out of the box I’d put myself into writing film scripts. ‘Tigerman’ is shorter, tighter, more crafted Picture Quote #1

You won’t find me in a romantic comedy. Those movies don’t speak to me. People don’t come to talk to me about those scripts, because they probably think I’m this dark, twisted, miserable person Picture Quote #1

I want to aspire to something like what Denzel Washington does, which is try to find scripts written for white actors - or Jodie Foster, who reads scripts for male actors Picture Quote #1

When you’re shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction Picture Quote #1

The deciphering of ancient scripts changed forever the way Europeans were able to imagine the story of humanity, destroying centuries of received authority about the past with repercussions as important for our understanding of time and history as the geological studies of the same period Picture Quote #1

Scripts are very different to books. They are blueprints for building, not the building Picture Quote #1

After my film ‘The Tale of Two Sisters,’ I received a lot of offers from Hollywood to direct, but because ‘A Tale of Two Sisters’ was a horror film, I received a lot of horror films. But I wasn’t interested in working in the same genre, and the scripts I received for films in different genres were for projects that were near completion Picture Quote #1

I don’t know if it’s that the scripts are evolving or just that I’m getting older, but the characters become more interesting as you get older because you’ve lived more life at different stages. You’ve loved; you’ve lost; you have more of that journey Picture Quote #1

I’ve seen [Lalla Ward] episodes of Doctor Who. They’re good, at least partly because the scripts were written by Douglas Adams Picture Quote #1

Even though I am a lifelong ‘Doctor Who’ fan, I’ve not played him since I was nine. I downloaded old scripts and practised those in front of the mirror Picture Quote #1

I never dreamed I’d be a spokesman for anything. But Pac Bell just asked me. The money was OK; the scripts were fun because I had to do in 30 seconds what it takes a whole feature to do and because the dysfunctional family of agents, managers and lawyers who represent me said it was cool Picture Quote #1

Be serious. You’ve got to do the job you were hired to do well, but there’s always more you can do. When I was an assistant, I would say to myself, ‘You may not be an executive, but act like one.’ I would volunteer for any creative assignment - read scripts, do ‘coverage,’ write notes Picture Quote #1

I don’t fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door Picture Quote #1

I’m probably not very funny. The scripts just don’t come in, or the ones that do aren’t that good. I suppose I’m just an old drama queen, really Picture Quote #1

I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same Picture Quote #1

I used to be a rabid reader, but now it’s scripts or nothing - network television is quite relentless, and you can’t drop the ball Picture Quote #1

I remember reading scripts when I started in the business, and [Latino roles] were either nonexistent or written as the maid or a drug dealer. We’re no longer just that. I’ll play any part that challenges me. What’s important is that all races have choices Picture Quote #1

I’ll literally pay three Hollywood readers who don’t know me to read my scripts under the radar and give cold comments. And at the early screenings of my movies, I’ll hand out questionnaires that can be filled out anonymously so people can be brutally honest because, to your face, they won’t be Picture Quote #1

I was a huge Muppet fan growing up. I want to bring it back to the early 80s Muppet movies, when the scripts could have been performed by humans Picture Quote #1

Chaos Magick can be understood as the discovery and application of effective techniques and scripts to maximize human design for living Picture Quote #1

Movies, particularly the big hit movies, are all just special effects. But on television, the writers are in control of the shows, and they control the scripts Picture Quote #1

I think the part I enjoy most is reading the scripts and screening films because I’m a bookworm and a movie buff Picture Quote #1

I’ve spent my entire career on horseback or on a motorcycle. It boxes you in, the way people perceive you. I read a lot of scripts. Most of ‘em go to other actors Picture Quote #1

Out of every 10 scripts I get sent, seven are fairly generic about an American guy who gets the girl and is involved in underground espionage activity Picture Quote #1

I’d love to say that every move I make is completely calculated and I’m sitting on a pile of scripts, sifting through them for the perfect role, but the fact is that there are a lot of talented people out there and there’s a lot of competition in our business Picture Quote #1

With TV, the pace is so fast, the scripts are coming at you, the directors are firing things at you, it’s breathtaking Picture Quote #1

I feed on other people’s creativity, photographers, artists of every kind. Sometimes a feeling that you get listening to a song can be so powerful. I’ve wanted to write whole scripts around what I felt just listening to a piece of music. I think music is important, and surrounding your visual field with stimulating things 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
