Generally, screenplays suck.

When you've written a film and directed it and it comes out exactly as you imagined it, it's pretty boring.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

I've been writing screenplays for a long time, and a lot of it came out of the journalism I was doing.

I really just love to open a blank document and spew, whereas with a screenplay I have to be more judicious.

A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.

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

My feeling about the movies is that most of them are terrible. If you don't have a decent script and a decent director, forget it.

I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.

It's hard writing screenplays.
