But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.

I read a lot of script. In my opinion, most of them aren't good or aren't about people.

It's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

Sometimes I read a really good script, and I just know that it's not a good fit.

I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

When you're trying to force things in a script, it seems like it's getting somewhere, but it isn't real or interesting. All the bad material you've written becomes an albatross around your neck. So I really don't like writing a lot of bad stuff, I prefer to just keep narrowing it down to stuff I think is solid.

Personally, I read a lot of scripts.

When you have a good script you're almost in more trouble than when you have a terrible script.

Good ideas are often murdered by better ones.

Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.
