It's a weird thing when you spend your life trying to find these great scripts and great parts. You are reading scripts, you are traveling the world, you are hassling your agent. You are trying to find that script.

Personally, I read a lot of scripts.

Once, I had so many scripts coming to me that I could hardly read them all.

A good script is like a work of art in itself. I've read hundreds of scripts, and good ones are very rare. If the writer has something to say, and a voice, and a plot that matches character, and an emotional trajectory that works, then I'd be an idiot to fool around with it. It's just that few scripts ever are like that.

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.

I read as many scripts as I can and just find stuff that I think is interesting, find stories that I think are worth telling.

Most of the scripts that land on my desk are stuff you read and go, 'Is someone really gonna make this?'

I'm terrible at reading scripts. I love to read, and I hate reading scripts.

When an actor asks you to read his script, your heart sinks. The number of scripts I've been given by actors that are so unbelievably terrible!
