Scripts Quotes

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

I hate it when, by page 30, I know what the lead’s going to do and then what the bad guy’s gonna do. Mostly it’s just scripts by the numbers where nothing’s surprising, nothing’s interesting Picture Quote #1

I don’t have wild dogs chasing people with scripts away from my door. I get my share. I’ve done okay. But I usually do independent stuff because that’s mostly what I’m offered Picture Quote #1

We grew up in abject poverty. Acting, writing scripts and skits were a way of escaping our environment at a very young age Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to be seen as just a guy on a list. I’m interested in good scripts, scripts that are about something, scripts that move your acting along Picture Quote #1

I loved the material when I first read it, and the experience of making the film was a great one. So when we came around to complete the trilogy, I just signed on board without even reading the scripts because the experience of the first film was so good Picture Quote #1

I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there’s about 50 people with producer credits, so what’s the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance Picture Quote #1

Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all Picture Quote #1

I’ve read some scripts, but I don’t read as many books as I should Picture Quote #1

As the scripts come in they are sent to the artists, and the artists are either very busy, or ready to start Picture Quote #1

As an audience member, those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale, and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good, it doesn’t really matter Picture Quote #1

I don’t look at scripts in terms of commerciality. I just look at the part, the people involved Picture Quote #1

And I find it very easy to memorize the scripts, which are so close to conversations my husband and I have Picture Quote #1

At this point, I’m happy to be part of something special. As an actor I liked to choose scripts that I’m passionate about Picture Quote #1

I’m not staying away from any genre. I’m trying to get scripts that I like Picture Quote #1

I’m definitely a messy person... I know where everything is but I just can’t organize. I don’t make lists and find scripts on the laundry machine, and under my bed, or in the bathroom, kitchen. It’s bad, I really need to take control Picture Quote #1

Now it’s a fully realized production but for the fact that we’re holding our scripts in our hand and some of us used them, and some of us didn’t and you have to by union rules hold the script. You don’t have to use them but you gotta hold them Picture Quote #1

Television theatre, as is implied in its name, should rely on adaptations of scripts written for the theatre Picture Quote #1

Aaron is a very passionate, maniacal writer so the scripts really come from him, but he is very open to... y’know, we’ll plan ideas and we’ll certainly tussle about stuff when the script comes out. So, to a certain extent, he’s very interested. If there’s some problem or something that doesn’t ring true, he wants to know why and he wants to correct it or fight for it Picture Quote #1

Acting is very competitive. There are few good scripts out there and the ones that are good are very competitive. You look at your options and often times they’re not too appealing Picture Quote #1

You have to read scripts and audition and develop relationships. It takes a long time to develop a body of work but over the last 25 years I guess I’ve done that many movies. In hindsight it may seem effortless, but there’s a lot of work that goes into it Picture Quote #1

Writing is a hard gig, and it’s hard to convey a lot. That’s why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another Picture Quote #1

I’ve been very fortunate with the scripts I’ve had and the people I worked with Picture Quote #1

I’d done table reads for my own screenplays, and I always thought they were so much fun. Why couldn’t we do these for other classic screenplays and bring them to life? You can experience live theater, where you get to see plays produced by different directors and different casts, but there’s really nothing like that for movie scripts Picture Quote #1

It seems to me, that this, too, is how memory works. What we remember of what was done to us shapes our view, molds us, sets our stance. But what we remember is past, it no longer exists, and yet we hold on to it, live by it, surrender so much control to it. What do we become when we put down the scripts written by history and memory, when each person before us can be seen free of the cultural or personal narrative we’ve inherited or devised? When we, ourselves, can taste that freedom Picture Quote #1

We’re all clichés, all following scripts that have been written and played out long before we landed the role Picture Quote #1

I’m not in a situation where you get a thousand scripts. You want to make a living, you want to put your kids through school. I’d rather do three bad films that pay well than do one good film every three years that doesn’t pay well... To me, if you can get a steady check in this business, you’re doing okay Picture Quote #1

I don’t like reading scripts very much. I like it better for someone to just explain to me what it is about this story Picture Quote #1

In the book, I tell the story of seeing old movies when I was young and acting out scenes at home. Now I get scripts, and I act them out Picture Quote #1
