I just choose the scripts I want to work on. I don't know why. It's not something conscious or that I'm doing on purpose.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.
I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.
Every script has things that would draw me away or draw me towards it. But I just try and choose as wisely as possible - when I get to choose.
I try to look at the whole thing and say 'yes' to the projects that I cannot stop thinking about. If I read a script and the subject stays with me - then that's when I want to go to work.
I just take every script as it comes along and take it from there.
I'm the only one responsible for the choices I make and the opportunities I get. When you read the script, you don't know how it's going to shape up. You just know what you've been narrated.
You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.
My m.o. as far as choosing projects is I really try not to work. I try to not do the scripts that are offered me.
I very rarely read a script that I don't feel I want to change a lot.
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
