Maybe I should have taken a few chances. That's not to say I want to go make 'Star Wars,' but I need to shift my career into the studio world. That's where my head was at when I thought of the original plot. ↗

I lose tons of stuff on the cutting room floor. For Scary Movie 3, for example, we had a lot of Matrix spoofs, a Hulk scene, and some of that stuff just doesn't hold up - it's too much plot, audiences just didn't want to hear about it. ↗

J.K. Rowling said Bellatrix's role was going to be significant in the last one, when I showed some reluctance in playing a tiny bit part. Up front, they said, 'You're very significant in the last one.' But significant could mean a lot of things. That could just mean a significant plot point. Doesn't necessarily equal big part. ↗

I love all of it, thinking up the plots, getting to know the kids in the story, their parents, backyards, pizza toppings. ↗

My books are primarily plot driven but the best plot in the world is useless if you don't populate them with characters that readers can care about. ↗

In discussing the process with the actors, I made it clear to them that they could improvise but that the sum total of their improvisation needed to impart certain plot points, and schematic material. ↗

Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically. ↗

Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas. ↗

In my books, women often solve the problem. Even if the woman is not the hero, she's a strong character. She does change the plot. She'll often rescue the male character from some situation. ↗

I like books that have razor-sharp plotting that snaps and moves along. It's not about the main character being different at the end. I don't want my main character to be different in the end. I still want him committed to his ideas, to be steadfast, true and loyal. ↗
