I believe that first impressions are very important.

With me it's always about first impressions.

Personally, I'm a little more confident when I have a script.

I feel like if you feel good about a script, and you feel confident about your ability to direct and just capture it right, it's all just, really, really in your favor there.

For me it's always about first impressions. I trust my instincts. I love to prepare if it's something that requires training. But I don't like to prepare the psychology too much. I enjoy the psychology of the character but I work better from a first impression.

When you first read a script is the purest moment. That's when you can understand how an audience will ultimately receive it. The first reading of the script is so important because you're experiencing it all for the first time, and it's then that you really know if it's going to work or not.

I'm very wary with impressions - I don't think I'm very good at impressions, I hate doing them.

I think the problem I have is that first impressions are the ones that stick with people. And people's first impressions of me are obviously from the film, from 'Gregory's Girl.'

For me, my first hearing of the script matters. It has to excite me as an actor and as an audience.

I am very instinctive when it comes to a script.
