Directors sometimes have good ideas that I wished I'd had, not on rewriting but simply on staging.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Honestly, I think most directors are about, 'Let's do the most fun and effective thing here and figure out how afterwards.'
What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It's a fantastic job.
I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.
I'm the kind of director, at any given moment, an idea occurs to me, I'll just do it.
There are times when you work with directors on set, and things are a bit rudderless, and those can be good directors.
I feed off variety. I don't want to repeat myself if I can help it, but once they've seen you doing one thing, directors often just want you to do it again.
I'm lucky enough that directors sometimes seek me out for little projects that people don't even know about, that just surface later on.
Everything I've ever written, I had a very distinct vision of what I wanted it to look like. But, other directors never do it that way.
I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.
I don't know why directors sign on to these projects and completely rewrite everything.
