Curtis Hanson quotes about
His [Sam Fuller] self-discipline was amazing. No matter what happened, he'd always go out to his Royal Upright typewriter and just keep working on his stories, his "yarns" as he called them.
That love of movies is very much alive in me.
character boys wonder
When I first went to Pittsburgh, I had never been there before, and we hadn't even decided to shoot there yet. I just went to see the location of Michael Chabon's novel. Once there, I became aware that Pittsburgh is a "wonder boy," in the narrow sense of the term, just as the human characters are.
character boys important
Here [in Wonder Boys] I had this group of characters where you didn't know which were the important ones or what direction they were heading.
Most scripts are so linear and simplistic in their plotline.
