Script Quotes - page 5
You can trust a Neil Simon script. Every dot. Every dash; that pause means something. He takes all the jokes out, practically.
Hector Elizondo
With acting I am being led by the script, other actors, the director, etc. But with songwriting I feel it is much more self reliant and allows me to be in the creative experience without being as dependent on others.
Helen Slater
Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.
Ian Hart
There's a film I did called 'Front of the Class', about a teacher who had Tourette's. That was a beautiful blend of drama and comedy. There's some great moments of levity in the script.
James Wolk
Tony Hale is a devout Christian and is a complete retard when it comes to swearing. The script called for him to swear for about 30 seconds and he just couldn't do it.
Jason Bateman
I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.
Jay Roach
First, you do a piece of material that begins and ends and has a flow; it's not chopped up as in a film, where in an extreme case you might be doing the last scene of the script the first day that you go to work, and you don't know enough about the character you're playing.
Jean Stapleton
It's never a script that makes me decide to accept a film or not.
Jean-Louis Trintignant
I remember going to Bob Preston's dressing room because I was losing a laugh - as you do in a long run. He said, 'Give me the script. That's where you're going off the road.' That's comedy. It's never the line itself; it's in the foundation.
Jeffrey Tambor
I was concerned about doing a sequel and repeating myself. That was before I read the script.
JoBeth Williams
All actors bring something unexpected to the role because they have to translate what's on the page and make a real character out of the black-and-white text that's there in the script.
Joe Johnston
Basically, the actor's job is to pay attention to the script.
Joe Morton
What I mostly do is take the script, analyse the hell out of it, see what's in there, see what kind of person I'm dealing with, and then forget I'm playing a father and just play a person who exemplifies all those things.
John Mahoney
To find a script that works with provocative ideas is hard to find.
John McTiernan
To this day, I get rewrite offers where they say: 'We feel this script needs work with character, dialogue, plot and tone,' and when you ask what's left, they say: 'Well, the typing is very good.'
John Sayles
I think it helps, as an actor, to never know when you're going to get that next script and you're done.
Jon Bernthal
A lot of our favorite comedies in general are usually directed by writers, whether or not they wrote the original script themselves.
Jon Hurwitz
I've always been better at informing the audience through images than through words, but I took on a script that was so dialogue intensive, that the words had to do all the informing.
Jonathan Glazer
I'm probably one of the worst actors as far as preparation goes, because I actually don't prepare. I find it easier to read the script and whatever hits me in my stomach, like deep down, I just go with it. And the director kind of molds me whether to go right or left with it.
Jaimie Alexander
They're naughty, all those writers - they mess around with people. I know James Gandolfini got a bit fed up on 'The Sopranos': if he said anything in front of a writer, told them a story from his life, it could make its way into the script.
Kelly Macdonald
I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
Leslie Caron
If I'm not afraid when I'm reading a script, that means I know I've done it before. If I read something and think, Wow, I can't play this part, then I want to play it more.
Linda Fiorentino
