Normally, when I read a script, I read 30 pages, and then go have a cup of tea and come back. And then, I read 20 pages and go make a phone call, and then go back to it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It always starts with a script. I like to have plenty of time to read something, and I always like to read a paper copy. I hate reading it on email. I sit down with a script, and want to see how it hits me. It's an instinctive process.
Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.
For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.'
Some people say that they read the first 20 pages, and then decide if they want to do the film or not. But, I have to read the entire thing 'cause anything can change in a script.
I practice reading all the time. I read everything and having so many scripts to read, which really helps out as well.
As a rule it usually takes three or four readings for me to be interested in a script, and if I'm interested I'll read it three or four times before I make a strong decision.
I probably read 100 times more than I write, but that way when I move my characters through it, I know.
It's important to read as much as you can because you never know when you will find the best script that you want to do next. I'm always quite picky in what I read and what I go for.
I'm terrible at reading scripts. I love to read, and I hate reading scripts.
I don't sit around and study the pages of a script over and over again.
