I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.
Kyle Chandler

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

The script was very explicit about the nudity that was supposed to be in the movie. Actually, they don't show everything we shot. They would cut here and it was floored. It was very embarrassing.
Diane Kruger

You live for those really great scenes where you almost feel that the film has gone beyond what was printed on the script pages and been raised to another level.
Tobey Maguire

Being an actor myself I realize that all actors believe they are qualified to play any role. If you showed me a script with a black woman character I would tell you that I could do it. That is what we do. We act as if we are someone else.
Richard Masur

If you get a book which is 600 pages, you have to reduce it to a script of 100 pages. In two hours of film, you cannot possibly include all the characters.
Dino De Laurentiis

I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.
Leslie Caron

I'll read a script maybe twice, but I'll think about the role more than I'll rehearse lines.
Patricia Clarkson

We go through, I think, six different drafts of each script. And then my shooting it is roughly, you know, fifteen percent of the total work that gets done on a show. Then it's all post-production animation after that.
Steve Burns

I don't start writing a script until I can see it all in my head, then it's a matter of getting it down in white heat.
J. Michael Straczynski

It was pretty much the way that it was when I first read it, although one exception would be that some ideas that I had were also incorporated into the script.
Chiaki Kuriyama

If I put the script down more than once, there's a good chance that I probably don't want to play the part.
Joe Lando

I remember going to Bob Preston's dressing room because I was losing a laugh - as you do in a long run. He said, 'Give me the script. That's where you're going off the road.' That's comedy. It's never the line itself; it's in the foundation.
Jeffrey Tambor

I haven't heard anything about a reunion show for Sisters. But if the script was good I would do it.
Sela Ward

Since I was 12 or 13, I have been taking movie meetings finding a project right for me because I wanted to try it. Craig gave us the script - it was set in Wales, it is really British humour. I just loved it.
Charlotte Church

You can trust a Neil Simon script. Every dot. Every dash; that pause means something. He takes all the jokes out, practically.
Hector Elizondo

For the last four or five years, I had been in the position where I didn't have to take a pilot. I took this one because the script and the people were terrific. It never frightened me. As we were doing the pilot, I could tell that it was working.
Gerald McRaney

We taped all this and then got it transcribed and picked the best lines or ideas or ways to take a scene. I've done that many times, and it can improve the script but also wreck a perfectly good scene.
John Schlesinger

I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.
Robert Wise

If there is a book that the script came from you have to read it, you have to see what you can get out of it: mood, back story and things that may not even be in the film. They kick off your imagination and broaden the character, I think.
Miranda Otto
