You're always looking for good scripts and when they're not always forthcoming you go mad.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

If you get a script and it's really well written, that's always exciting.

You just have to take these opportunities when they come along. They're not that frequent; you'll get a really good script, oh, maybe once a year if you're lucky.

I feel that I don't have to wait around for good scripts anymore, that I can get things moving more quickly. I can ring up directors I like and say I'm keen to work with them, which is pretty great.

I really try my best not to get attached to a script, because I know what it takes: It takes you away from your family and what you like to do.

If I ever wrote a script myself, it would be strongly emotional material.

The first thing that attracts me to any script is the writing. If I find myself becoming lost in a good yarn, then I feel certain that others will, too.

I need to push myself. I'm not saying that I just want to do anything that's shocking, but when you have that combination of a script that's really beautiful and extremely shocking, it's exciting for me.

I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.
