“It's always different, depending on the writer and the director. A collaborator like Graham Reznick delivers a fully finished piece, perfected in every way. Other writers direct the recording session and then leave quite a bit of the work to us.” WayDifferentBitsPiecesDirectorsDirectFinishedSessionCollaborators Author:Larry Fessenden
“I'll generally write out every scene that's in the film on a couple of pieces of paper, just with a little one-line. And then I can scan it a bit and go, 'This first third of the film, generally, I'm kind of calm.' Then I might do something on one piece of paper that just relates to the energy of the character.” WritingFirstsKindLittlesI CanCharacterMightFilmEnergyBitsLinesPiecesCoupleScenePaperThirdsCalmRelateOne PieceOne Line Author:Guy Pearce

“It was really important to try to reach a whole new audience so we had a lot of people in who not only had not seen the last film but were not Star Trek fans, or thought of themselves as not being Star Trek fans, or they had seen bits and pieces of Star Trek in the past and it was just not for them.” PeopleTryingImportantWholeLastsPastFilmStarsBitsAudiencePiecesFansBits And Pieces Author:Bryan Burk
“I had always been more interested in playing and improvising than sitting down at a desk and writing out a piece. I'd always found it more fun to play, and the other a little bit tedious.

“I, and all the complex things around me, exist only because many things were assembled in a very precise way. The 'emergent' properties are not magical. They are really there and eventually they may start re-arranging the environments that generated them. But they don't exist 'in' the bits and pieces that made them; they emerge from the arrangement of those bits and pieces in very precise ways. And that is also true of the emergent entities known as "you" and "me".” WayMayMadeBitsKnownEnvironmentPiecesPropertyComplexesEntityArrangementsPreciseArrangingBits And Pieces Author:David Christian
“Josh [Gad] is such an amazing improviser and is so good when the material is flowing from him that sometimes, if a written scene isn't working quite right, I'll tell him that we've got it and that he can just play.

“They always say, doing what I do for a living, write what you know and then people will respond to it.

It makes you feel cheap and guilty when you didn't do a thing in the world to kindle the dull burn in your veins or the sting in your eyes.
