I think test screenings with an audience are useful because they have no dog in the fight, they just say how they feel.

In my own experience, the scripts that I wrote, if they didn't go within two years and become a film, they never went and no one ever came looking for them.

For me in a film, almost every scene you end up cutting a bit of the start of it out, and some of the end of it out because there's always...once you've rehearsed it and shot it, it feels like a couple of times and you can always get out sooner.

It's always once the script's done in the first two years if it doesn't get going somehow or another, I've never had an old script that someone's made later on.

I know a lot of directors have a whole staff of people trying to find their next film for them. I always just end up writing mine.

I worked as hard to write the worst film of the year as I did to write the best film of the year.
