Everything is in a script for a reason, and only by being part of a writing team (or writing it yourself), do you really understand the intention of every beat.

I regard myself as an entertainer much more than an artist.

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

A pregnant woman is like a beautiful flowering tree, but take care when it comes time for the harvest that you do not shake or bruise the tree, for in doing so, you may harm both the tree and its fruit.

One of the first movies I ever saw was 'Batman,' based on the TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward.

Writing a screen play with a group of collaborators is like the Lennon McCartney collaboration .... sometimes one or two people do more than others on certain parts of the process and vice versa.

I mean, I didn't have a huge upbringing with movies, I guess.
