Quotes by Ryan Eggold
In terms of directing, there's a number of directors who definitely had a great impact on me, Woody Allen certainly being one of them.
I wouldn't say I handle attention well. I'd say I stumble over pick-up lines poorly. I'm not good at any of that.
I've been on a lot of sets, and I've been around a lot of directors, and I've been working for many years now, but stepping in the shoes of being the decision maker and the guy that everybody is relying on at some point, yeah, it was challenging for sure. One thing is that you're responsible for a large group of people.
I have read a thousand screenplays, and I have acted in a handful of them, and I have felt when it feels good, the writing, and it feels natural, and feels funny or sad or honest or whatever it may be. You connect. And I felt when it feels like writing, when it feels stale, or when it feels artificial or forced, or too theatrical or whatever.
I put a song out for fun, from 'Lucky Them'... I wrote another one called 'Love Song.' I really liked that.
With an independent film, you have a little more freedom, and you also have less money, so you're sort of struggling to get it done, to get something that works. With a big studio, everything is there for you, and it's easier.
One summer, my friend and I went to summer camp, and I acted in some plays there, and I fell in love with it.
