I think the script is the key. Regardless of how great everybody else is working on a film, if you're working on a script that you don't think is great, you're not gonna be able to make a great film. Whereas if the script is great, then you can.

I wanted to do a film for a while, but I never found a script that I felt I was going to be the right person for; because if you've never made a film, you're not taught how to make a film, and you feel like you lack skills.

You can have an amazing director and terrible script, and the film's not going to be great. But if you have the most incredible script and an okay director, you could still get a really good film.

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

Well, there's no question that a good script is an absolutely essential, maybe the essential thing for a movie.

No other aspect of filmmaking has tempted me to do a film other than the script and the story itself.

I'm not saying I'm a writer, but I've been in movies for a long time, and I think I could write a script for a movie.

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

If making movies was easier, there'd be a lot more good movies. So you kind of learn that if it's just a good script, or if it's just a good producer, that's not always enough. You need an entire team of creative people coming together.
