I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.

Personally, I read a lot of scripts.

Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I've never had a written script.

Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.

I read a lot of scripts, and there's a lot of good writing and a lot of OK writing and a lot of crappy writing. And even with the really good writing, it doesn't necessarily speak to me.

When you have a good script you're almost in more trouble than when you have a terrible script.

Sometimes reading scripts is terrible.
