The day you step on the floor the meter is ticking and time is of the essence. You can't really afford to not know what you're doing. So I think the screenplay is a great tool to get everybody on the same page.

I went through a pretty serious illness early in my life and I made a movie about that.

I'm very eclectic in terms of what I like, what I read, what I watch, my own consumer behavior.

The movie doesn't do what you want it do. It just grows and then you have a movie at the end of it, hopefully.

I'm not looking for artistic license with the script. I tend to arrive at a form with the script and feel that that should be for the time being what we aim for.

I read a script or I read a project or I read a novel and I know that I'm going to spend two to three years of my life with that, exclusively. So you better like it. There better be an honorable, real need to make that movie.
