The hardest thing about writing a script is you finish it, but it doesn't mean anything. It's not like a novel or short story - a script is meant to be made into a movie.

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 feel like if you feel good about a script, and you feel confident about your ability to direct and just capture it right, it's all just, really, really in your favor there.

I always find that it's when a script is not detailed, then I have to do more work as an actor.

I don't really get into a big intellectual analysis of why I am going to do a certain script or not.

Personally, I'm a little more confident when I have a script.

For me, it's important that the script is good. Then a good director will want to make it.

Usually, if you've got a great script, everything falls into place.

If you're writing a novel, you can afford to see where the spirit takes you, but in terms of structure and engineering with a screenplay, you have to be quite pragmatic; otherwise, it will run away from you.

For me, the script is important. If it excites me, I'll do the film.
