The Script Quotes

I like to rehearse with the actors scenes that are not in the script and will not be in the film because what we’re really doing is trying to establish their character, and good acting to me is about reacting Picture Quote #1

The key is, if youre not monkeying around with the script, then everything usually goes pretty well Picture Quote #1

In the 90’s action pictures were all the rage. As a woman, I was fed up with them and I initially thought that the script was just another action film dressed up as a period piece Picture Quote #1

I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity Picture Quote #1

I did all my directing when I wrote the screenplay. It was probably harder for a regular director. He probably had to read the script the night before shooting started Picture Quote #1

When we shoot 24, there are so many things I have to worry about, from the script to technical things to my performance, that I don’t have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season, which is like making 12 movies Picture Quote #1

And I tell ya, when I sit in that sound booth and started reading the script and starting to get into the character, man, it’s an easy jump for me, because I understand what it’s all about Picture Quote #1

If I put the script down more than once, there’s a good chance that I probably don’t want to play the part Picture Quote #1

The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part’s not that great Picture Quote #1

You live for those really great scenes where you almost feel that the film has gone beyond what was printed on the script pages and been raised to another level Picture Quote #1

For me, the work begins with a rough cut of the film. I can’t do much with the script. I’ve tried to write music to a script prior to seeing the film, but I’ve found it turns out to be a waste of time Picture Quote #1

Now it’s a fully realized production but for the fact that we’re holding our scripts in our hand and some of us used them, and some of us didn’t and you have to by union rules hold the script. You don’t have to use them but you gotta hold them Picture Quote #1

Aaron is a very passionate, maniacal writer so the scripts really come from him, but he is very open to... y’know, we’ll plan ideas and we’ll certainly tussle about stuff when the script comes out. So, to a certain extent, he’s very interested. If there’s some problem or something that doesn’t ring true, he wants to know why and he wants to correct it or fight for it Picture Quote #1

I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script Picture Quote #1

Most actors go, I read the script and fell in love with it; I fall in love with the directors Picture Quote #1

You’d go in, read the script once for timing and then you would sit around and play games. The sound effects people would come in and we would do a dress rehearsal so they could get the effects and the music cues in place. Then you would wait until you went on the air Picture Quote #1

Truth cannot be given to you; especially if you are following an organized religion, then truth will be as far from you as darkness is from light. Truth is not found by observing rituals, undertaking pilgrimages or reading the scriptures. It is simply a waste of time Picture Quote #1

With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make 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. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this Picture Quote #1

I look for the character to be something interesting, the script to have a good story and be original, and a director that I admire Picture Quote #1

I’m attracted to stories that excite my imagination, stories that, as I’m reading the script, I feel it, I can see it, I can hear the characters. I’m attracted to characters that are real, that tap into something inside me that I haven’t explored yet Picture Quote #1

Everything you do on set is directly related to your imagination when you read the script for the first time Picture Quote #1

I’ve been very fortunate with the scripts I’ve had and the people I worked with Picture Quote #1

I like my characters to be ones I think about long after I’ve finished reading the script Picture Quote #1

I have always believed that chemistry can’t be created between two people. You either have it or you don’t. The script can only enhance it Picture Quote #1

Everyone would like to have stronger faith. By themselves, the scriptures may not strengthen your faith, but being faithful to what they teach, does. In other words, faith cannot be separated from faithfulness Picture Quote #1

It seems to me, that this, too, is how memory works. What we remember of what was done to us shapes our view, molds us, sets our stance. But what we remember is past, it no longer exists, and yet we hold on to it, live by it, surrender so much control to it. What do we become when we put down the scripts written by history and memory, when each person before us can be seen free of the cultural or personal narrative we’ve inherited or devised? When we, ourselves, can taste that freedom Picture Quote #1

Evolved? As a dancer? Me? I don’t fall down as much, unless it’s part of the scripted dance. I don’t step on other people’s toes anymore. I think if I started the show a one out of ten dancer, now I am a two and a half Picture Quote #1

Good actors never use the script unless it’s amazing writing. All the good actors I’ve worked with, they all say whatever they want to say Picture Quote #1

I never read the scripts at all carefully and never wanted to know what was going on, because I felt that being a benevolent alien, that’s the way it should be Picture Quote #1

I’m probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don’t prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it Picture Quote #1
