Well, I must tell you I write the scripts very close to the bone. So I'm writing episode seven now and couldn't tell you what happens in episode eight.

A script is not a piece of literature it's a process.
-
I've always felt that I'm in a spontaneous business and if you script something, if you plan something, it will sound that way.
-
I like, for instance, 'Serpico.' I enjoyed playing Serpico because Frank Serpico was there. He existed. He was a real life person and I could - I could embody him. I could, you know, I could work and get to know him and have him help me with the text, the script and become him. It's almost like a painter having a model to become.

There is no such thing as a good script, onlya good film, and I'm conscious that my scripts often read better than they play.
-
I wouldn't say I'm a very controlling person. For instance, when I talk to the actors, I don't tell them exactly what I want because I want them to surprise me. I even encourage them to change some of the verses of the script if they need to.
-
I always get quite close to my script because I work quite hard on them.
-
I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.
-
The first thing that attracts me to any script is the writing. If I find myself becoming lost in a good yarn, then I feel certain that others will, too.

I love Marlon Brando and James Dean. That was when it was all about the star and the script. Nowadays, everything has to be action-packed.
