More quotes by John Michael McDonagh
Eventually, in the editing movie you have to look at it as if you hadn't written it. So, you have to be a bit more brutal.
John Michael McDonagh
When you've written a script, if an actor has a question you're the writer as well as the director, so you have the answer. And if you don't, then you just be honest and say 'I don't know' and then you discuss it. So, working with the actors is fine.
John Michael McDonagh
I think that if you're a good enough actor you hope that eventually the material will find you.
John Michael McDonagh
