Terry Rossio Quotes

Most aspiring screenwriters simply don’t spend enough time choosing their concept. It’s by far the most common mistake I see in spec scripts. The writer has lost the race right from the gate. Months - sometimes years - are lost trying to elevate a film idea that by its nature probably had no hope of ever becoming a movie Picture Quote #1
I’m tempted to say, ‘Writing treatments is like designing a film by hiring six million monkeys to tear out pages of an encyclopedia, then you put the pages through a paper-shredder, randomly grab whatever intact lines are left, sing them in Italian to a Spanish deaf-mute, and then make story decisions with the guy via conference call.’ But no... compared to writing treatments, that makes sense, too Picture Quote #1
Once learned, the ability to disagree with a smile pays valuable dividends for a lifetime Picture Quote #1
Anger is a more noble emotion than indifference Picture Quote #1
Most will choose to leave someone who can’t bear to see them go Picture Quote #1
A fool harvests his opinions in the spring Picture Quote #1

Personal happiness is so important, most choose to let someone else take care of it Picture Quote #1
Talent is truth on display Picture Quote #1
The resolve to diet is most easily summoned on a full stomach Picture Quote #1
Success is less rare than the courage to attempt it Picture Quote #1
My lousy way of getting it done is better than your great way of not doing it Picture Quote #1
It’s easier to be old than young. You make just as many blunders, but you’ve become much more adept at not recognizing them Picture Quote #1

You are an adult when, faced with important decisions, you choose to have more faith in yourself than anything else Picture Quote #1
It seems quite proper to fear achievement, which, after all, is proof that you’ve successfully moved an experience from the delightfully anticipated future into the forever and sadly lost past. Avoid as long as you can the ultimate indignity: a lifetime achievement award Picture Quote #1
How do we not rue the many unchosen paths in life? A blessed lack of imagination. There are enough real glories along any path to swamp our meager ability to picture alternatives Picture Quote #1
