After I script the movie, I have to storyboard it out, I have to budget it, and I have to understand if I can afford all those visual effects or not.
It's hard to find scripts that know what they are from page one to page 115.
I like dialogue that is slightly more brittle than life. I have always admired and wished to write one of those 1940s film scripts where every line is written with a sharpness and economy that is frankly artificial.
If the scripts are not good, I'll tell somebody, 'This isn't good.
But once we got on the air, everybody except Morey Amsterdam pretty much stuck to the script.
I fix things now and then, more often tweak HTML and make scripts to do things.
I left 'Dr Who' after 18 months, as my character was going nowhere. In truth, I wished I had never gone into it. Afterwards, all the scripts that came my way were for 15-year olds.
The beats are like scripts, and the raps are my monologue.
When you have great scripts, everything is very easy and fun.
I work in film, TV, commercials and do live PR stunts for companies. A lot of my time is spent reading scripts and looking at designing sequences, speaking to directors and producers about how they want the sequences to look, how they will work and budgeting those stunts.
