writing years film
I worked as hard to write the worst film of the year as I did to write the best film of the year.
thinking sometimes periods
As much as I love period movies and especially more swashbuckling movies, I think that sometimes they tend to be, umm... it's hard for the audience to relate to them.
writing thinking world
I think there's something strange about writing a script I've written many, many scripts - dozens and dozens of scripts - and every time I start one, I think to myself: 'why in the world do I think I know how to do this?'
lying long okay
It's okay to lie as long as you reach a higher truth doing it.
