[John] Hughes is a great loss, I think. He was the first filmmaker that could look at someone who was young without seeing them as being less.

If you read a script enough, especially a good script - I try to read it 40 to 50 times before you begin so you get a sense of the arc: what happens before, what happens after, what happens during.
