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