52 Quotes by Tony Gilroy

No one should feel sorry for a successful screenwriter.

I like movies that pop, that have a little bit of candy on, that freedom to have a little bit of extra fun, but are rooted in real behaviour. Rooted in cause and effect, never violating reality.

I can't imagine directing from someone else's script.
