Scripts Quotations | Page 8

I have been fortunate to get some really good scripts over the years and I haven't turned down anything that I regretted so far. And my manager who I've been with for over 25 years is very good at knowing what I should and shouldn't do a lot of times.

I actually love the audition process, so I'm so happy to fight for things. I would love to read something that I want to fight for, but lately the scripts are not that compelling.

When I retired, I was at an in-between age. I wasn't a child anymore, I wasn't really a woman yet, and they weren't really writing scripts for that age.

J. J. Abrams is a director that I've admired for a long time, from the very first scripts he wrote - including 'Regarding Henry,' which I was in.

I knew her work very well and I knew that if she offered me a role in her movie, it wouldn't be something stupid. So I agreed to do the film before I read the script.

I've received some English-speaking scripts, but I was not interested in them.

I would love to occasionally do English-speaking films, but the script is as important for me as the director.

Usually, I read the script very often. I think that everything is hiding in the script.

I was influenced by autobiographical writers like Henry Miller, and I had actually done some autobiographical prose. But I just thought that comics were like virgin territory. There was so much to be done. It excited me. I couldn't draw very well. I could write scripts and storyboard style using stick figures and balloons and captions.

Really, I'm a neurotic perfectionist. Every single word in the script is the one that I want.
