The Script Quotes

A movie script more than anything else is a plan of action for the crew. Everybody in the crew looks at the script to see what they’re going to do.

I absolutely made the decision that that cannot be the reason why I’m doing a film or a job. For me, it’s always about the script and whether I’m doing something that I’ve never done before Picture Quote #1

The better the script is the more you can commit,but you can only really commit with full confidence when you know the material is as strong as your level of commitment to it and it frees you up Picture Quote #1
