Seeing Does Not Always Believe.

In Eleven Or Twelve Years Of Writing, Mike, I Can Lay Claim To At Least This: I Have Never Written Beneath Myself. I Have Never Written Anything That I Didn't Want My Name Attached To. I Have Probed Deeper In Some Scripts And I've Been More Successful In Some Than Others. But All Of Them That Have Been On, You Know, I'll Take My Lick. They're Mine And That's The Way I Wanted Them.

Most Screenplays, Most Motion Pictures, Owe Much More To The Screenplay. Ingmar Bergman Has Such An Economy Of Language, So Little Language In His Piece, It Is So Visual, His Moods Are Introduced And Buttressed By Camera Rather Than By Word Or Character. But Again, That's Unique.

There Are A Lot I'm Proud Of, And A Lot I Wish The Hell I'd Never Written.
