Tim Robbins Quotes:
  • "A movie script is a malleable entity when you're shooting and should be able to become different things and should be able to be rewritten at the last minute."
  • "I always write from an actor's perspective, which is writing dialogue that fits comfortably into one's mouth, as opposed to dialogue that is strained and defective."
