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.

A good script is like a work of art in itself. I've read hundreds of scripts, and good ones are very rare. If the writer has something to say, and a voice, and a plot that matches character, and an emotional trajectory that works, then I'd be an idiot to fool around with it. It's just that few scripts ever are like that.

I read as many scripts as I can and just find stuff that I think is interesting, find stories that I think are worth telling.

If you get a script and it's really well written, that's always exciting.

Personally, I read a lot of scripts.

Sometimes I read a really good script, and I just know that it's not a good fit.

Good scripts are hard to find.

You see a lot of good ideas or well-written scripts that are bad ideas.

Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.

I can now tell from the envelope whether or not it is a good script.
