Quotes
- "A lot of scripts in Hollywood are written, and they can't really be made into shows: They're just really good scripts. They're just good reads. A lot of writers can't translate into the visual realm, so you get a lot of bad product, basically. 'Good script' doesn't always equal 'good product.' That's why I try to solve it before I do [a project]."5
