Everyone in Hollywood has a screenplay.

Generally, screenplays suck.

I just really loved films and thought I should be writing screenplays.

Those writers that have zero say in their movie adaptations have zero say because they sell it. If you don't sell it, and you do it yourself, and you wait until the screenplay is ready, you don't have to worry about that.

I didn't know anything about writing a screenplay, but somehow I ended up rewriting a screenplay.

I've written about 15 screenplays and they all sold - they were all sold on pitches.

Scripts don't get movies made.

I read every screenplay that was being sent to the other directors. None were being sent to me, but I was reading what others were choosing and what the best writers were writing.

I sold my first screenplay six months before 'Glee,' but they had the option for a year and now it's back with me.

You can't write a screenplay if you've been doing a zero-hours contract. Which means that the people who write drama, the people who commission dramas, and the people who direct dramas all come from a small circle of society.
