Ensure that your script is watertight. If it's not on the page, it will never magically appear on the screen.

Spicy With A Little Bit Of Raunch
I am not a rumor.
Nor am I a page from a script,
To overdo as rehearsed.
I am who I am with no excuses,
To create on the spot or make up...
With a hiding of my flaws.
I have been through too much in my life,
To solicit from anyone an attention to me given.
I am motivated and obsessed by initiative I can't rid.
I am not a rumor.
Although some told on me I have heard are very good.
Spicy with a little bit of raunch.
Nor am I a page from a script.
I live to adventure and not to be limited.
And rehearsed?
I offend too many who are pretentious.

Heaven Right Now
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's old enough
to know of love
and know that this is not
But young enough
to not be willing
to settle for what she's got
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
And if you get caught
you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's everything
a married man
should look for in a girl
She's married too
but not to you
and that's part of the thrill
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
She's the one who makes you feel alright
Her alibi's your alibi - it's watertight
Oh, and you're going to hell
but it's heaven right now

Reading A Book
Yesterday
a book
so tightly
closed.
Everythig
so vague
a secret.
Today
somehow
the book
magically
opened.
There
befo re
my eyes
appeared
a clear
script.
The
writing
so
liquid.

I wrote the script of Patton. I had this very bizarre opening where he stands up in front of an American flag and gives this speech. Ultimately, I was fired. When the script was done, they hired another writer and that script was forgotten.

When Does A Thought
When does a thought
become a theory
become a poem play
movie script or book?
When it is written out
neat complete on paper
or saved on electric screen?

Sometimes I read a script and it's obvious from early on that it's one where the suspension of disbelief has to develop strongly from page one. Some are more reality-based.

Of all the stars whom I worked with, I think Steve knew better what worked for him on the screen than any other. He had such a sense of what he could register, and that helped a lot in terms of shaping the character and the script.

It's much simpler to be tortured on camera or to be filmed losing your mind. Whereas a script that has characters who are honest, witty and genuine... is often much harder to act.

Champa
If want to make night dreams fragrant
garden ornamental and wet in scent;
ensure Champa is there.
In temple at worship you wish to offer
In weddings, festivals need the flowers
ensure champa is there.
Honey bees can't know what's here
girls go aromatic with Champa in hair
ensure champa is there.
If you want vampires and ghosts
Play their mischief in cemetery itself
ensure Champa is there.
Contained five elements in our body
Champa holds five petals to signify
ensures champa is there.

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence, and it really just jumped off the page.

They put it on the page because it sounded good or it looked good or they read it in a book somewhere that this is how you structure a script or something, and they just don't get it. It's surprising.

The reality show
Reality in real condition or
Unreality in real condition,
A play off the stage,
A writing without a page,
Or a page without writing,
A song without singing,
It is different from what is seen,
Is it unreally sublime or really mean?
It is a drama behind the scene,
And played on the small screen,
Slayer of emotions and modesty,
The reality show is the pyre of honesty.

House was the first film where I had no influence on the script. I had to buy the script with the game rights.
At the same time, reading an action script... It makes me wonder. Was The Matrix a good script? I don't know.

When I read the script sometimes, it's like 'Christ! Enough!' I can't sleep at night sometimes. There's the occasional script that just hammers you, that you can't shower off.
