With him (Altman), nothing?s etched in stone. A script is a foundation, or a blueprint, kind of written in wet cement.

If we don't do what we need to do, who knows what might happen. Nothing is etched in stone.

This is something that is not necessarily etched in stone until the league makes some kind of ruling about it, which I'm not even sure of. So we're not going to speculate on what we're going to do. We're just going to have to plan to give ourselves the best competitive advantage we possibly can.

When a book is written, it's a final product. But, when a script is finished, it's really just a blueprint. And it's an extraordinary experience for me to watch someone take what I wrote and imagined and make it three-dimensional. And it's great if someone adds something I hadn't thought of.

The script is just a blueprint.

Just because the date has been set doesn't mean it's been etched in stone.
