“If it's a good script I'll do it. And if it's a bad script, and they pay me enough, I'll do it.”
George F. Burns
“You can only get that cast by either paying for them or having a good script. And we didn't have any cash.”
Paul McGuigan
“With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can't possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. The script must be something that has the power to do this”
Akira Kurosawa
“When I got the script to this movie, The Good Girl, I read it in an hour. The writer, Mike White, has an ability to create characters that are so creepy and dysfunctional and human, with this duality that makes people feel empathy for them at the same time. My first thought was 'Was this sent to the right person?' I called my agent. 'Are they sure? Let's say yes before they realize they've sent it to the wrong person!”
Jennifer Aniston
“A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.”
David Mamet
“I get a script and it's really interesting with scripts, because you never really know. It's paper and it could be great or awful. Even scripts that are good could end up not working.”
Amanda Bynes
“I only sound intelligent when there's a good script writer around.”
Christian Bale
