I love reading scripts and offering notes and opinions. I'd like to be an advocate for the emerging filmmakers whom I'm working with.
I feel like the great filmmakers who have a true voice, yeah they take the notes, they understand the notes, but it's really about the notes underneath the notes. When you do a test screening and somebody says, 'Well, I didn't like the love story,' but it was probably just too long.
I'm terrible at reading scripts. I love to read, and I hate reading scripts.
I love working on scripts. I love coming up with ideas about what people would dress like or talk like. I love all that.
I use the dictionary all the time when I'm reading or working on scripts.
I was meeting a lot of directors and reading scripts, and I was like, "Well, I'd love to play this part," but I couldn't.
I was reading scripts, doing coverage, for CAA. Reading hundreds and hundreds of scripts across the board, from blind submissions to 'Brokeback Mountain'. It was not always a pleasant task but something, in hindsight, I'm glad I did.
I'm steeped in the news because I enjoy the news - I like reading papers, I like reading the blogs, I love talking to newsmakers and pundits, for that matter, about their opinions. I'm an information gatherer by nature, so that's what attracted me about this industry.
Anyone working at HootSuite will tell you that I don't sugarcoat my opinions. I heavily encourage feedback and suggestions - partly because I'm blunt about offering the same in return.
I think, because I've been working for a while, I've been working since I was ten, I had the fortune of reading a lot, a lot of scripts.
I love working with young people and young filmmakers, and I love working on first films. I think it's cool. It's fun. I just take it as it comes.
I'm snobby about books that aren't crime fiction: if I start reading a literary novel and there's no mystery emerging in the first few pages, I'm like, 'Gah, this obviously isn't a proper book. Why would I want to carry on reading it?'
For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.
For the moment, whenever I read, it is normally scripts. You start a book and then you think, 'I should be reading these five scripts.'
I love the feeling I get when I'm on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.
I just like good stories. I like really interesting scripts, I love really great filmmakers. And I'm open to all genres and all stories. But, there's certain ones that attract me, and I don't really sort of look at what I think is going to be successful, I look at more so, you know, is this what I want to do regardless of what everybody else thinks?
I love the BBC. I love working with the BBC. They leave you alone; they give you zero notes. It's like being on vacation.
