It's possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can't make a good movie from a bad script.
Well, there's no question that a good script is an absolutely essential, maybe the essential thing for a movie.
I'd love to work in the States; I'd love to work anywhere where you get a good script and a good part to play. But I do love British film as well.
I'd love to do a sci-fi movie, a western, or an espionage thriller. But I'm not going to limit myself. If a good script comes along, I'm not going to discount it because it doesn't fit into one of these genres.
I wouldn't know a good script if it bit me in the face.
Not all offers I get are exciting and inspiring. I would rather sit at home and not work than jump into mediocrity for the sake of just moving ahead. If it's a good script, I would sacrifice my personal time and grab it.
Give me a good script, and I'll be a hundred times better as a director.
I can now tell from the envelope whether or not it is a good script.
I think a good script is a rare thing, and I think no matter who you are you have to fight for the good ones.
I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.
