Gustin Nash Quote
"I saw the adaptation of the book as I was reading it. The method I used, essentially, was that there were these big set pieces in the book that obviously deserved to be in the movie. I then used those as sort of a primer for what I was going to cut out and what I was going to leave in. If something wasn't essential to get to that set piece, then it either got consolidated or cut."—February 20, 2008, on adapting Youth in Revolt for the big screen.Cinematical: The Write Stuff: Interview with Charlie Bartlett Screenwriter...
