I liked to think I had written 'scripts' when I was in high school, but looking back at them, they were about thirty pages of wannabe-Mamet dialogue with a staple through them.

It's really hard as a screenwriter, you feel like you have a vision and then you turn it over to a director and you have to let it go.

No I don't really write thinking about specific actors because it can get in the way a little bit.

We didn't miss it. This is it. C'mon. You wanna go home?

Actors want to work. Give them characters they want to play, or a story they want to tell, and hopefully the budget will follow.

I think when you take forever off the table, it does something really interesting to what you think is important.
