Jerry picked up the technique of visualizing the story as a movie scenario; and whenever he gave me a script, I would see it as a screenplay. That was the technique that Jerry used, and I just picked it up.
Joe Shuster

You can't do things for money. You just can't act them. There's gotta be something about the script that you really want to do. I wouldn't do a job if I didn't think I could do the best work I possibly could.
Tom Wilkinson

In the year and a half I was on SNL, I never saw anybody ad lib anything. For a very good reason - the director cut according to the script. So, if you ad libbed, you'd be off mike and off camera.
Harry Shearer

The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion.
Peter Bart

I do finish reading a script and say, Why are they making it and what are they talking about? I like to try and be responsible in my choices in that way.
Jennifer Connelly

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.
Anjelica Huston

What Tim does is, he calls me and sends me the script. And then he sends me a drawing, an illustration of his image of me as the character. It's so great.
Danny DeVito

House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.
Uwe Boll

Even before my audition, there were several pages missing from my script because those bits were so unbelievably secret not even I was allowed to see them.
Ian Hart

I personally take cues directly from the script, then I like to surprise the other actors. But you must maintain control on a level and see how far you can go up, down or out emotionally. You have to balance the craft with spontaneity.
Lusia Strus

When the script was written, it was sent to me with asterisks marking where he felt a song would be appropriate. Before the film was shot, the score was written. I made a demo of it, so they lived with the music as they were making the film.
Alan Price

Back then, it was more or less we couldn't change a line in our script. We weren't allowed to change lines. Today, actors change everything and won't do parts. It's very different today. Back then, the producers were in charge. Today actors are more in charge.
Donna Douglas

I think sequels should be earned and we won't do it unless the script is better than the first one.
Jay Roach

The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.
Tatum O'Neal

And I'm auditioning right now for a movie, and then I have a script that I'm reading right now for a horror film, and I'm meeting for a couple of television shows that I just had yesterday, and pretty much was offered one of them.
Trishelle Cannatella

Everything is a rejection of you, not your product, or your script, or a cosmetic. It's you.
Morgan Brittany

Knowing that Gene and Morgan were playing those roles made it much easier to put the script together-we knew who we were writing it for. It took some mystery away.
Stephen Hopkins

I'd just love to have an audience and it's the most fun in the world to get a new script every week and have the audience come in, and work with those actors.
Sara Gilbert

Originality is, for me, the most important quality in a script.
Douglas Wood

Oh I am trying to remember, we would read the script after we did the show.
David Selby
