I'm Never At A Loss For New

I Don't Have A Social Agenda. I Just Don't Choose To Ignore What's In Front Of Me.

To This Day, I Get Rewrite Offers Where They Say: 'we Feel This Script Needs Work With Character, Dialogue, Plot And Tone,' And When You Ask What's Left, They Say: 'well, The Typing Is Very Good.'

I Never Actually Do Rehearsals. That's One Of The Reasons That I Write Those Bios And If I Can Meet With The Actors I'll Meet Them Or Talk To Them On The Phone. What I Want Is For Them To Come On Set Knowing Their Lines And Knowing Who The Character Is.

There Were Not Fifteen People In The Story Department And Twenty-five Producers And Stuff. And Roger Had Produced 1,000 Movies And Directed A Couple Of Hundred, And Their Comments Were Always Very, Very Specific.

I Take More Jobs When I Need More Money, If I'm Investing In Films. I Take Fewer When I Don't. Or If Something Really Good Comes Along, I Usually Find A Way To Do A Good Job On It In The Time That I've Got.
