I present the nominees, well, not me the Voice of God, for Best Screenplay.
My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.
I didn't know anything about writing a screenplay, but somehow I ended up rewriting a screenplay.
Screenplays aren't written to be read, they're written to be made into movies.
I've written about 15 screenplays and they all sold - they were all sold on pitches.
If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.
There are a lot of bad screenplays so if you write a good screenplay people are going to respond to it.
There's nothing more important in making movies than the screenplay.
In my screenplays - from the very beginning I've always used tape. I talk my screenplays. And then have somebody transcribe them.
I think I've had pretty good experiences for the most part with the people who have directed my screenplays.
