More quotes by Thomas Lennon
Nobody in Hollywood ever sets out to make a bad movie ever but about 99% of the time, that's what happens.
Thomas Lennon
Books are great for if you want to work on the craft of writing for yourself, or, you know, to write novels or indie films, stuff like that.
Thomas Lennon
The good thing about being a writer is that you don't need anything except for a laptop. You can really do your own work and if you're not manically compelled to write all the time before you do it professionally, it's probably not a business for you anyway.
Thomas Lennon
If you just want to be a writer, I don't care, for pitching, for writing dialogue, you should take an improvisation class. It's super important.
Thomas Lennon

Thomas Lennon
Being a working person who works for the studios. It's a minefield and there's tons of stuff you need to know. And people mess it up all the time.
Thomas Lennon
Before any movie of yours gets made, it will be vetted by the studio's marketing department. So, you do have to answer the question: Who is your movie for?
Thomas Lennon
The more people's money you take to do something, the more inputs you get.
Thomas Lennon
Waiting for opportunities in the entertainment industry is an impossibility they are not coming. You have to make your own.
Thomas Lennon
Old School has humongous laughs all the way through it.
Thomas Lennon
The best thing that happened during the filming of Out Cold is that I forged a friendship with Lee Majors that endured for almost 12 weeks.
Thomas Lennon
Being a movie star is stressful as hell. You've got to do crunches all day long. You've got to get up and learn lines.
Thomas Lennon
Yes, I am complimented on my work in Kids in the Hall once or twice a week. Its a nice feeling.
Thomas Lennon
All studio movies are the middle of the Bell curve. The only way to do something is to do it yourself. And the only way to do that is to not take any money from anyone or take as little money as possible from anyone and that's it.
Thomas Lennon
