I wish in my own mind I were more definite - that I was absolutely convinced I'd never direct someone else's script, but I keep reading scripts, because I might find something.

If I feel like it's a well-written script and if it speaks to me, it's something I want to do. I usually rely on my instincts when it comes to a script.

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.

Your mind just goes to the craziest idea to lure people into the theater, and then you write your script around those elements.

When I read a script, I always - the first question I ask myself is, 'Is there something that I could bring to it that maybe the next guy wouldn't?' Because I've read a lot of very good scripts and thought there are people who could do this better than I.

I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.

Well if somebody's giving me a script, I'll consider it. But it's not something I'm chasing.

I think that my script, if it gets used, would be great. But if it doesn't, I think it inspired them.
