When you have a good script you're almost in more trouble than when you have a terrible script.

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

You can't fix a bad script after you start shooting. The problems on the page only get bigger as they move to the big screen.

I've written plenty of scripts that sucked.

Anybody could write a bad script, and I'm one of them, you know?

I think part of the problem sometimes is that there's so much happening in my books, to whittle it down into a single script is hard.

Sometimes reading scripts is terrible.

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.

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

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