Scripts Quotes

Everybody knows Aaron Sorkin’s scripts. There’s a huge amount of lines. There’s a huge amount of interchange. You gotta do a lot of learning to be able to get it up to pace Picture Quote #1

When I was in school, I was always writing scripts and dressing up as characters. I’d constantly be that guy who’d get up on stage. I used to write imaginary TV shows, like soap operas, for fun Picture Quote #1

I would say I was challenging the system quite. But I like to think that if the choices I make are slightly unexpected or challenging to people, then that is good. We are definitely three fairly like-minded people in terms of what we value in scripts and in storytelling Picture Quote #1

My English teacher always gave me scripts for plays, but I was into sports. My friend said there were small parts I could go up for, but the director gave me the part of Mozart, which was kind of the lead role. From then on I just loved it Picture Quote #1

For me, movies and television are interesting because they are the dominant storytelling form of our time. My first love will always be fiction, and especially novels, but I’m a writer... I write poetry and essays and criticism and I’d love to write a whole play, and sometimes I even write scripts Picture Quote #1

In retrospect, I think that I’ve been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I’ve probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural Picture Quote #1

We usually start by asking the collaborators to submit a couple of ideas.

Groundhog Day’ was one of the greatest scripts ever written. It didn’t even get nominated for an Academy Award Picture Quote #1

Don’t allow old traditions to become permanent mental scripts for managing your life in the present. Reason: you will not be able to transform yourself to think differently and be better as you grow with age and maturity Picture Quote #1

I get a lot of dark scripts now. I don’t wanna be stuck doing movies like American Pie. For someone my age, once you get started doing them, it’s hard to get out Picture Quote #1

It’s one of the most beautiful scripts [Brokeback Mountain] I’ve ever read, and it was Ang Lee, and at the time Heath [Ledger] was a friend of mine - before we even shot the movie - and always sort of alluring to me Picture Quote #1

I like dialogue that is slightly more brittle than life. I have always admired and wished to write one of those 1940s film scripts where every line is written with a sharpness and economy that is frankly artificial Picture Quote #1

I really like questions. I like people who write scripts because they’re asking questions, not because they’re giving answers. It’s something that I look for 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 think sometimes soap acting gets an unfair label for being bad and over the top. The lessons I learned there were so valuable. Seeing yourself every day on television, you learned what worked and didn’t work, what was bad acting and what wasn’t. Memorizing scripts became second nature Picture Quote #1

Fun, that’s the word I keep on using. That’s the word I worry about when other writer’s scripts get too dark. Optimistic. Fun. And to be optimistic and have fun there’s got to be a darkness there. I think that’s a very British attitude Picture Quote #1

I’m always trying to work on scripts. I’m pretty selective. Sometimes maybe too much because I’m broke Picture Quote #1

I’ve read a hundred fantastic scripts that didn’t pan out as films, and I completely put that on the directors. I’ve also read some mediocre scripts that have ended up being amazing, and I credit that to the directors. They’re the storytellers. If you don’t have a good storyteller, you really have nothing Picture Quote #1

As an actor, the toughest thing is being subject to circumstance. Meaning: What scripts are out there that are available? Picture Quote #1
