“He'd call you and say he had a problem with your script 45 minutes before you were going on the air, ... Part of it was to remind you who the alpha dog was, but he also saw it as a mentoring thing. If you're going to get your piece on ABC News, you had better know your story backward and forward. That's why he was famous for asking obscure questions.”

“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
“When I was doing "8mm", my agents called me and said, "There's this hot script by Larry Cohen, and there's a bidding war for it. Fox is in the lead and if they get it, they want to do it with Mel Gibson and they want you to direct it."”
Joel Schumacher
“We wrote the script, we did a six-minute presentation, and then it died. Fox wanted a sitcom with an 'A story' and a 'B story,' and there were just very rigid creative rules that work on some shows and don't work on others.”
Aaron McGruder
“I dropped the script in the fireplace, called my agent and said, they can jail me, sue me, but I'm never acting again, unless I can do something worthwhile.”
Piper Laurie
“When I saw the script, ... I called them that night. I liked it that much. I love this character, I think he's loaded with love. This is a blustering kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. He tells the truth and that's why I love him.”
