Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

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

A good script is like a work of art in itself. I've read hundreds of scripts, and good ones are very rare. If the writer has something to say, and a voice, and a plot that matches character, and an emotional trajectory that works, then I'd be an idiot to fool around with it. It's just that few scripts ever are like that.

I've written plenty of scripts that sucked.

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.

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

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

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.
