You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everyone in Hollywood has a screenplay.
Anyone who's putting money into your movie would always rather you cast well-known people.
Screenplays are the currency of Hollywood.
Since I began making movies, I've always looked for screenwriters instead of going through the long and painful process of writing.
There are thousands of directors in Hollywood.
The writer in movies is about as low as you can get and you really are a hired hand. You are paid a lot of money to be treated like dirt.
I don't see Hollywood as the big enemy, because this is where the money is, and not all of the companies are doing studio movies. I'm not tempted to sell out. If I'm going to become well known, I want it to be for something I'm proud of.
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
I have come close to producing films. But generally by the time they hit the screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance.
What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It's a fantastic job.
