“Every time I do a movie, I'm reading the script, or if it's something I have coming up, I'm reading the script, and I just spend hours and hours and days and weeks and months going over the script and just writing a lot of different ideas down, finding a little dialogue or just coming up with ideas for scenes and moments and all that kind of stuff.” IfsWritingKindLittlesIdeasDifferentMomentsReadingStuffHoursWeekMonthsSceneFindingsScriptsDialogueDifferent Ideas Author:Mark Wahlberg
“Finding a good script is really difficult and the scariest thing of all is when they say about a script that's not right, "we will fix it.."

“One thing that I don't think I do is play characters. Once you start claiming that you can do something that you're not, you're crazy. I think scripts can really surprise you. You go, "Wow, I did not know that that response could come from me. I did not know that I had that in me." And so, the process of making the movie is just finding that and digging a little deeper.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesPlayCharacterProcessCan DoOne ThingCrazyFindingsSurpriseResponseScriptsDeeperWowDiggingCan Do Something Author:Kristen Stewart
“What I really love, is finding a script and fantasizing and going to a different world and kind of portraying a character that is interesting.

“The script [of Regression] wasn't the draw for me. It was largely Alejandro [Amenabar] and his way of talking. To hear him talking about the script was way more interesting than the script. He wrote it, and so, English is his second language. It's an interesting thing. I've had that before. I was directed by Alfonso Cuarón before, too. It's always interesting when you're being directed by somebody like that. So much of directing is about communication, and finding the right words, and what it means, and how to convey certain emotions and ideas.” WayMeanIdeasCertainLanguageInterestingEmotionTalkingCommunicationFindingsDrawsScriptsInteresting ThingsRight WordsRegressionWay Of Talking Author:Ethan Hawke
