Once I started selling scripts for a great deal of money - action scripts, no less, which people tend to pooh-pooh anyway - then I started to get some backlash. Which I didn't mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've auctioned off many scripts and will continue to do so for good causes.
I've written plenty of scripts that sucked.
Personally, I read a lot of scripts.
I have written a bunch of scripts that have not gotten produced, much more so early in my career than later.
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.
I started writing movie scripts. They excited me a lot, but I didn't like them when they were finished because they were simple copies of the films I saw in childhood.
I just have a belief that when there is a rare script out there that speaks to you, you have to stick with it. You have to.
I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.
I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.
I don't look at scripts in terms of commerciality. I just look at the part, the people involved.
