I didn’t write ‘Snow White’ for any class, but I got bitten by the screenwriting bug and wrote a couple of scripts in my spare time instead of going to keg parties or something. Evan Daugherty Read Quote
I never really knew that I would be a lifer of strong female characters, but that seems to be the drops I’m being given, and I’m very happy for them. Hopefully, ‘Divergent’ will be the next thing. Evan Daugherty Read Quote

I wouldn’t say I see things visually first, but what I do think is important, for a lot of screenwriters, is to not just think about the words on the page, but also the world as a whole and the vibe of the movie, rather than a sequence of scenes written on the page. Evan Daugherty Read Quote
