For me, if the words are good on the page, the rest of it comes from spending some time with the script, and not like you’re learning lines but absorbing what the script has to offer.

I write every first draft – almost every draft, but certainly the first – by hand on blank white pieces of paper, so I don’t know how long it is as I’m writing; it just piles up, and then I input it all in my computer, and I learn how long it is.
