I have a stack of scripts that I've read - I'm in the lucky position where I get offered things - but I haven't wanted to direct many of them.

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

I never turn down scripts without good reason. If I did, I would probably never work.

I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.

There seems to be a pattern. I get one good script every two years.

Sometimes we'll only get one script in a year that we want to make that we feel is good enough.

I get a trickling few scripts that I'm lucky enough that some of them are great. I don't get loads of scripts.

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.

I don't write anything off without reading a script, and if it's a good one, I'll consider it, whether it's for $20 or a million dollars.
