Favorite Screenwriters Quotes

1. "As I've often observed and remarked: the most gifted screenwriters can concoct believable monsters, deviants, heroes, regular-joes, atheists, agnostics, all sorts of characters. But the believable depiction of a full-orbed Christian character is simply beyond them. Evidently they have never known (much less understood nor liked) even one credible, practicing, Biblically-faithful Christian. It's the one color missing from their palate — as starved for ideas as they are."
Author: Dan Phillips
2. "I grew up in the Midwest; you don't know any screenwriters. It didn't seem like a realistic career possibility."
Author: Diablo Cody
3. "There are a lot of women screenwriters, but they are obviously outnumbered by men. And it still is a very much male-dominated industry."
Author: Elizabeth Meriwether
4. "From a writing point of view, you now have teams of screenwriters working with a director. What's lost in the process is the power of that one heart, brain, gut and soul that makes something an original piece of writing."
Author: Joe Eszterhas
5. "I know I should be able to find a story in anything. Good screenwriters can pull interesting films out of the asinine and mundane. But everything I've read about writing always begins with ‘write what you know.' What I know is: quiet streets, topiary, moronic high school arsehats, and homework. Has anyone ever made a movie about homework? Probably. I bet it was in French."
Author: Melissa Keil
6. "As screenwriters, we struggle with our own success. We have wallpapered our world and now we can't get anyone to notice the picture we just hung."
Author: Paul Schrader
7. "I don't believe moviegoers don't have patience. Screenwriters are told a scene can't be longer than three minutes, that you have to cut to the chase. Not true!"
Author: Tracy Letts
