Quotes
What I didn't know before the screenplay of A Soldier's Story (1984) was that writing for films is like riding in a bus where every traveler (justifiably) has a say in where the bus (movie) is going. Writing plays is like riding a motorcycle - you are in charge of where the play goes - and while you may have someone enjoying the trip with you, (a producer or director) motorcycles can only hold a few riders.
