Typically, I work with the script and the director for awhile before, just to make sure we're on the same page.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I guess, as a director, you sort of take the script, and you find ways to interpret it.
I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.
When I'm the one who sits down and looks at the blank page and writes it out all the way, then I'll call it my script.
Usually, if you've got a great script, everything falls into place.
I'm probably working on three different scripts at any time, so there's never a time where I've got nothing to do.
I just take every script as it comes along and take it from there.
I never practice before, I never work hours on a script. I just choose my characters and trust them, and after that, it's about the director taking your hand.
I always write the script by myself.
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.
For any role, I pretty much always go to the script, first and foremost.
