    • Quotes
      The one thing that makes this business so interesting is you can dig for five years (or more). And it's frustrating when you have the feeling of no forward motion. Then one day you find that ten-ounce nugget of gold and it makes the previous years of searching evaporate and disappear...That's what happens when you find the right screenplay.
