Drehbuchautor / Screenwriter Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Drehbuchautor / Screenwriter:

What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It's a fantastic job. Robbie Coltrane

You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five.

Nigel Kneale

I'm a very slow screenwriter. It takes time for me to write a screenplay. Also, I feel it's not my strength.

Denis Villeneuve

'The Buccaneers' was an Edith Wharton novel, and she never finished it, and a screenwriter adapted it for television.

James Frain

I started writing morning pages just to keep my hand in, you know, just because I was a writer and I didn't know what else to do but write. And then one day as I was writing, a character came sort of strolling in and I realized, Oh my God, I don't have to be just a screenwriter. I can write novels.

Julia Cameron

What I want is to be the highest grossing screenwriter, or to have some other woman be the highest grossing screenwriter, instead of being number nine on the list. That's my goal.

Melissa Rosenberg

Since signing with Universal, I have been working closely with Gary Ross, the director, producer and screenwriter. We have spent many hours on the phone, and I've been sending him information and items that have been useful to the writing process.

Laura Hillenbrand

Capra always wanted a screenwriter with him, even on the soundstage. The writer had to be there at his side.

Sidney Buchman

I am happy that I'm a better novelist than a screenwriter.

Graeme Simsion

My father was a screenwriter, and I kind of grew up in that world. I always had a mind for characters and dialogue, and my head was filled with that stuff, so it seemed like a good place to start.

Maria Semple

Normally with film, it's normal for the screenwriter to never be seen again after finishing until the premiere.

Jane Goldman

Nothing, I find, has prepared me for the sight of my own characters walking about. A playwright or screenwriter must expect it; a novelist doesn't and naturally concludes that she has gone mad.

Susanna Clarke

As a journalist, as a screenwriter and as a director, I'm trying to tell compelling and truthful stories.

Peter Landesman

A screenwriter heard me read from my novel 'The Wishbones' when it was still in progress and mentioned me to some producers in Hollywood. They called, and I told them I had a novel in my drawer about a high school election that goes haywire. They asked to take a look, and my life changed pretty dramatically as a result.

Tom Perrotta

I started out my career as a screenwriter and quickly discovered that adhering to a script isn't always the best way to make a film. You have to take into consideration the nuances of the characters and what the actors bring to their roles.

Wong Kar-wai

Starting in '98 when I was researching 'Traffic,' I got to meet really serious people in Washington, which for a screenwriter was kind of a great gift. And I really valued these guys; I stayed in touch with them, and I find their point-of-view quite interesting.

Stephen Gaghan

I learned that you have to say that you're a filmmaker. You're not a screenwriter; you're not a director for hire. You've got to take charge. You're a filmmaker, and you're going to make a film.

Whit Stillman

When I was really young I didn't know that there was such a thing as a screenwriter. I wrote stories.

John Sayles

But here's the thing: what you do as a screenwriter is you sell your copyright. As a novelist, as a poet, as a playwright, you maintain your copyright.

Beth Henley

When I was a screenwriter, I was doing it for mercenary reasons.

James Frey

I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays.

Alice Hoffman

I am a newspaper columnist and a professional screenwriter, but my real love is the novel for all the room it has for characters to come alive and breathe and face their challenges.

W. Bruce Cameron

My father was a screenwriter, but he was also a novelist.

Sadie Jones

What I do have to get across is the truth of the moment within the given scene. It's my job, as a director and screenwriter, to create the environment in which all those moments will come together eventually.

James Gray

I want a career writing these novels that I can be proud of. And then I want one as a screenwriter.

Stephan Pastis

Being a screenwriter is not enough for a full creative life.

William Goldman

Being a good television screenwriter requires an understanding of the way film accelerates the communication of words.

Steven Bochco

What you do is get the right director and the right screenwriter and the right cast. It's a fantastic job.

Robbie Coltrane

When you're adapting a novel, there are always scenes taken out of the book, and no matter which scenes they are, it's always someone's favorite. As a screenwriter, you realize, 'Well, it doesn't work if you include everyone's favorite scenes.'

Nick Hornby

I guess you could say I'm a model slash hotelier slash actor slash screenwriter.

Vikram Chatwal

If you want to be a screenwriter, take an acting class to get a sense of what you're asking actors to do. Learning other skills will help you communicate with people and respect what they do.

Tina Fey

As a screenwriter and a half-Jew, I tend to look at the glass half-empty.

John Francis Daley

I feel that one of the fields that I need to learn a lot is screenwriting. I used to write my own screenplays, but it's just that I remember that at that time, I was saying to myself, 'I wish one day I will meet a screenwriter that will help me because I feel that I need to learn.'

Denis Villeneuve

There's this movie, 'Zero Dark Thirty' about the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Some have complained that too many 'secrets' were dished out by the intelligence and special operations communities to director Kathryn Bigelow, screenwriter Mark Boal and their crew, part of a broader pattern of using intelligence for political effect.

Michael Hayden

I consider my job as a screenwriter to pack a script with possibilities and ideas - to create a feast for the filmmaker to pick from.

Jonathan Nolan

With a novel, you're the director and the screenwriter and everything else, except that you have to write it knowing it will all be performed inside the head of the reader. So it's a difficult and lonely task.

Jason Henderson

I became a playwright and screenwriter. Italian-Americans were my particular specialty. I liked the way they talked. There was something free in it.

John Patrick Shanley
