The hardest thing about writing a script is you finish it, but it doesn't mean anything. It's not like a novel or short story - a script is meant to be made into a movie.
Writing a great script - not just a good one, but a great one - is almost an impossible task.
The script is always the main preparation for me. Sometimes you have a period piece where you have to research around it, but if the writers have done their homework well enough, the information is all in the script.
It was pretty much the way that it was when I first read it, although one exception would be that some ideas that I had were also incorporated into the script.
A script is like a theory of a movie.
I envision the script as a story in my mind, memorize the entire thing and have it play out. It helps me figure out where my character needs to go.
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 wish in my own mind I were more definite - that I was absolutely convinced I'd never direct someone else's script, but I keep reading scripts, because I might find something.
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.
I always feel like a script is a recipe, and then you bring the elements into the recipe, and you cook with it.
