Mr. Pink(‘s) Rules

Funny-lookin’ Steve Buscemi offers his rules for filmmaking:

“2. The script is everything – a living thing that needs to breathe, to be fed, and to grow. Take care of your script; don’t let anybody mess with it.

“3. As Abel Ferrara once said, ‘A script ain’t a movie.’ Okay, so maybe the script isn’t everything. But it’s a good start.”

And although MovieMaker curiously doesn’t link to its own article, the Jim Jarmusch rules Buscemi references can be found here.
