Script for an actor is like a bible. You carry it with you, you read it over and over, you go to your passages.
Cameron Diaz

Script is not finished until it's finished. There's many times, partway through a film, when an idea comes, and I say, How beautiful this is. This thing was not complete and look what's happened, look what's come along. And it just came along at what might be called a strange time rather than a normal time.
David Lynch

When I read the script, I liked the script very much and I thought it was a marvelous part for her, because I think it is a change of pace. I mean, we know how wonderful she is in romantic comedy.
Albert Finney

In retrospect, I think that I've been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I've probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural.
Gillian Anderson

I don't think about better. You just want it to work. You want it to work and you have your guide with the script. You want it to exist and complete.
Famke Janssen

Directors are our teachers, and I'm always craving to work with a great director. They're pretty much the first thing that interests me about a project. Let's put it this way: It'll take me a lot longer to read a script if there's no director attached.
Naomi Watts

When you pick up a script you want to do you generally have a theme you're trying to work with, and then it expands from that.
Michael Caton-Jones

I'd trapped myself in a script.... But to be scripted at all is to be prepackaged, programmed, pinned to a page. Only the unwritten can truly live a life. So who I was, what I was, had to be unwritten.
David James Duncan

If you are making a script based on a book it can be frustrating going back to the source novel, because you're turning the story into a totally different thing the narrative of film is different from that of a book.
Clive Owen
Image
For the most part I pick movies based on the merit of the script, and the merit of the script only.
Amber Heard
Image
I remember calling and asking, because I had a few lines that were like, How could the character have done this? and I hadn't read the part of the script that said what she [ Cate Blanchett] did, so they put me on the phone with Woody... Allen. I don't know if I could really say Woody.
Alden Ehrenreich

I write to music, so every script I have has its own playlist. Music just opens me up to the emotions that I'm writing.
Gina Prince-Bythewood

If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.
Francis Chan

You want to favor systems that benefit from error, disorder, variability and things like that. You want to favor these systems and unfortunately, when - there's something I call the Soviet Illusion. The more the government becomes intrusive, the more things have to follow a script, and it can't handle this kind of system.
Nassim Nicholas Taleb

When script is written well, then you start to make decisions of, Well, do I want to be away from home for that long? Do I like the people involved? When it's written well, a lot of those things go away and you can't not do it.
Michael Cudlitz

I don't remember what script it was, but at the Monday table read, the [opening] teaser didn't work.We went back and had to think of a new teaser, and [after] four hours, five hours, we weren't landing on anything.And it was probably Glen [Charles] who said, What are we, cowards? You had to do it, no matter how long it took.
David Lee

I looked at a lot of the comics and I tried to just get an idea from that. Not necessarily specifics of what my look would be or what the plan would be because I knew the script was evolving. I then started the discussion with Ken, who had been in discussion with you guys, intimately. And that they'd pared it down.
Colm Feore

Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Image
People always say a script will be 'brought to life in a magical way,' but for me that has been proven wrong time and time again.
Ginnifer Goodwin
Image
They needed someone to write a script of The Great Gatsby very quickly for the movie they were making. I took this job so I'd be sure to have some dough to support my family.
Francis Ford Coppola
Image
I think it's incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn't in the script.
Natascha McElhone
Image
Honestly, Think Like a Man was the first romantic comedy that I liked. I'd kind of avoided them for awhile because I never felt that any of them were really smart enough. But when I read this script, I genuinely fell in love with the characters, especially my own. So, I just wanted to be a part of it.
Michael Ealy

You get all the puzzle parts together enough to say the puzzle is complete. It's a script. In the process of realizing that, new ideas can come, one way or another. Through a happy accident, they just come to you.
David Lynch
Image
I usually read a script from an audience perspective first, and then look more closely at the character only.
