Most scripts that get written in Hollywood don't go anywhere.

Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.

There are no great scripts - just great films.

It's never a script that makes me decide to accept a film or not.

Generally, screenplays suck.

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

I have always thought if you are going to make a film, it's much better to have an original script that will play to film's strengths.

If you have a movie coming out, and people are talking about you, the amount of scripts will build.

A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.
