Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.

More quotes by Rod Serling
If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit.
Rod Serling
Writers vary tremendously. Was it Tom Wolfe who stood up or was it [Ernest] Hemingway who had to stand up? I don't know.
Rod Serling
This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality: you're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable...Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of mind itself. Ladies and Gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. . . Next stop The Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.
Rod Serling
Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.
Rod Serling
I don't have any system. I dictate a lot, through a machine, and I also have a secretary. But I used to type just like everybody else.
Rod Serling
I'm sufficiently independent to know that I can live well and comfortably all the rest of my life whether I'm rejected or not.
Rod Serling
You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You’ve just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.
Rod Serling
I'd love to be able to write an in-depth piece of what causes men like [Richard] Nixon and [H.R.]Haldeman and [John] Ehrlichman and all the rest of them not only to run, but what causes us to vote for them.
Rod Serling
I choose to think of tv audience as nameless, formless, faceless people who are all like me. And anything that I write, if I like it, they'll like it.
Rod Serling
I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.
Rod Serling
I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.
Rod Serling
The most important thing about the first sale is for the very first time in your life something written has value and proven value because somebody has given you money for the words that you've written, and that's terribly important, it's a tremendous boon to the ego, to your sense of self-reliance, to your feeling about your own talent.
Rod Serling
Now death is with us in such abundance and hovers over us in so massive a form that we don't have time to invent a mythology, nor is our creativity directed toward same. Now it's to prevent death.
Rod Serling
You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing assunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning.
Rod Serling
Most screenplays, most motion pictures, owe much more to the screenplay. Ingmar Bergman has such an economy of language, so little language in his piece, it is so visual, his moods are introduced and buttressed by camera rather than by word or character. But again, that's unique.
Rod Serling
Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.
Rod Serling
Somehow, some way, incredibly enough, good writing ultimately gets recognized. If you're a really good writer and deserve that honored position, then by God, you'll write, and you'll be read.
Rod Serling
The tendency when you dictate is to overwrite, because you're not counting pages, you don't really know what the hell the page count is.
Rod Serling
I think I would like to be in Victorian times. Small town. Bandstands. Summer. That kind of thing. Without disease.
Rod Serling
