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

Sometimes reading scripts is terrible.

If the scripts are not good, I'll tell somebody, 'This isn't good.'

But most scripts are terrible. Most projects are bad, that's just kind of the way it is. And I'm not really attracted to those.

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.

You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.

If it's a terrible script, it's a terrible bore.

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

I've written plenty of scripts that sucked.

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