Everything I've ever written, I had a very distinct vision of what I wanted it to look like. But, other directors never do it that way.

I had written a script called 'Freed,' which I had wanted to direct.

Everything is just very, very blurry. I've never had proper vision.

Has Werner Herzog ever said anything that wasn't true? What a brilliant fountain of wisdom. Everything he touches I'm just fascinated by.

A script like 'Nightcrawler' gives me an opportunity to truly realize a vision that's mine, which is exciting.

My screenwriting credits in my career are probably not dissimilar to some other ones in the sense that a lot of the scripts you write don't get made, and the ones that do get made are certainly - as a writer, they're not your vision.
