Quote

  • I kind of enjoy the limits. If you've got no limits, you can do absolutely anything, it's very difficult, actually. I always enjoyed working with machines like color photocopiers and letter-pressing type settings, things where the limits are very apparent. You push the machine to do something, and it tries to do its best, and it usually has wonderful qualities all of its own. Then you get a sort of dialogue going, and the limitations become qualities.

You have to understand that people feel threatened by a writer.  It's very curious. He knows something they don't know.  He knows how to write, and that's a subtle, disturbing quality he has.  Some directors without even knowing it, resent the writer in the same way Bob Hope might resent the fact he ain't funny without twelve guys writing the jokes.  The director knows the script he is carrying around on the set every day was written by someone, and that's just not something that all directors easily digest.
