I can't imagine directing from someone else's script.
I worked for a lot of directors.
I've never taken a job on anything I didn't want to do.
But what I didn't recognize when I was much younger was this sort of...when you're on, when you're really on, go at it.
Developing films with directors, developing films with actors, is a poor percentage play for a screenwriter.
Fear changes everything. We're animals, and when we get afraid we act like animals. I'm not exempt from that.
