I became a script writer with absolutely no idea of how to write a script whatsoever. I still feel a bit of an outsider in that regard. If I can maintain that approach to screenwriting, it can continue to be enjoyable.

I always write the script by myself.

I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.

Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.

Anyway, he and I worked on the script together, and I must say he was a joy to work with. Very enthusiastic.

Once, I optioned a novel and tried to do a screenplay on it, which was great fun, but I was too respectful. I was only 100 pages into the novel and I had about 90 pages of movie script going. I realized I had a lot to learn.

I've written plenty of scripts that sucked.

I was living in a large apartment with no furniture, just a typewriter, and because I had nothing else to do with my time, it made me take my writing seriously.
