- Action Film
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
An action film can have too much action; picture an equaliser on a stereo, with all the knobs pegged at 10. It becomes a cacophony and is, ultimately, quite boring.
- Keep
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You have to keep surprising your audience.
- Pain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.
- Loved
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm ashamed to say this, but I watched every episode of 'Starsky and Hutch' as a kid. I loved that show, but now I think it's stupid - they'd have a car chase for no reason, then Paul Michael Glaser would shoot the car and it would blow up.
- Guilty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have these guilty pleasures, these failed films that don't work at all, but I'll watch them if they're on. Like 'The Game.'
- Bullets
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Any time anyone fires bullets in an action movie that don't hit the target it immediately undermines the movie.
- Professional
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I hate 'The Professional.' It's one of the worst action/adventure movies ever made.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't mind women who want to act. That's fine. It's odd that men want to act, in that there's still a degree of vanity associated with it.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once I started selling scripts for a great deal of money - action scripts, no less, which people tend to pooh-pooh anyway - then I started to get some backlash. Which I didn't mind.
- Passion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can win more arguments then you might think as a writer, even though you legally have no recourse, and your script can get muddied and altered in any way possible. You can use reason, logic, and passion to argue persuasively for a case in your favor.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Probably my favorite piece of music, as an album taken as a whole, is Bruce Springsteen's 'Greetings from Asbury Park.' I just think it's incredibly pure. It's a sound that sort of broke new ground, and I think it paved the way for a hundred people that sound very similar.
- Honesty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'll say, what makes me happy about making movies is, every once in a while through movies we find a kind of honesty. There's an honesty in fiction that's as effective or even more powerful than the honesty of our lives. We can find something that's genuinely true, like a chemistry between people or a statement that speaks to an audience.
- Got
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For years I was doing the excruciating weightlifting of writing scripts - but then I stayed thin and someone else got all the muscles.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do think the challenge, in a way for me, is to write a narrative film and when you finish watching it you feel like it's a collage. You tell the narrative, you tell the story, but you feel like you've created this tapestry. But it also has a shape, a story.
- Myself
