Everyone I Know Who Used To Be

What You Need To Know To Direct A Movie Is [of] Such Great Variety. I've Worked With People Who Were Maestros, Who Know Everything. I've Worked With People Who Were Empty And Lost, Who Had No Clue What They Were Doing. You Wouldn't Hire Them To Paint Your Apartment. And Then There's Everything In-between. There's No List Of Skills You Have To Have To Sit In That Chair.

I Can't Imagine Directing From Someone Else's Script.

I Worked For A Lot Of Directors.

I Have Written A Bunch Of Scripts That Have Not Gotten Produced, Much More So Early In My Career Than Later.

Developing Films With Directors, Developing Films With Actors, Is A Poor Percentage Play For A Screenwriter.
