I'm actually more suspicious if I'm having a really good time and thinking, maybe we're not working quite enough.

And we should be making more of an effort.

But no, it's like some kind of strange alchemy that when everything comes together, it's a magic thing.

But the most important thing really is in the writing.

And what you really need more than anything else is a good script.

there aren't very many really, really good scripts.

I mean, if you look at the Oscar winners this year, you know, all those best films, these are Oscar nominations, you know, they're 10 films and you think, how many of those were really good scripts and there's not actually, they're pretty scarce.

And why is that?

I don't know, not enough people getting out the typewriter.

Yeah, people don't.

You know, studios playing it safe.

Well, that worked last time.

Let's do something like that.

This is something meets something because it's a lot of money to make a film.

You know, these big films cost $200 million or something ridiculous.

And small films, $2 million is a lot of money if you're a little independent producer.

So everything's relative, but they're always expensive.

Hopefully that's all changing.

With iPhones, you can shoot a feature film on an iPhone if you've got a really good idea.

But ideas are the hardest thing of all.
