A script is so word-heavy, after trying to communicate so much verbally, I think you need a different outlet to give the verbal centre of your brain a chance to cool off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My scripts are possibly too talkative. Sometimes I watch a scene I've written, and occasionally I think, 'Oh, for God's sake, shut up.'
I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.
Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.
When you read a script, you get a feeling from it.
I really think that reading a whole script is kind of prying and neurotic, don't you?
For years, I was often afraid to speak up when I didn't fully understand a script. I'd tie myself in knots.
Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.
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.
I don't start writing a script until I can see it all in my head, then it's a matter of getting it down in white heat.
With acting, when you're reading a script, you're regurgitating someone else's words. There's a whole part of your brain that's off duty.
