Shane Black Quotes

• An action movie should, like any other, follow the narrative traditions of literature. That means there should be subtlety, a slow build, and a gradual bringing together of all the separate threads of the plot. To see all of it coming together slowly is very rewarding for the audience.

• Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same.

• Writing scripts is a laborious job that can be a real pain.
• Any time anyone fires bullets in an action movie that doesn’t hit the target it immediately undermines the movie.
• I’m ashamed to say this, but I watched every episode of ‘Starsky and Hutch’ as a kid. I loved that show, but now I think it’s stupid – they’d have a car chase for no reason, then Paul Michael Glaser would shoot the car and it would blow up.
• I don’t mind women who want to act. That’s fine. It’s odd that men want to act, in that there’s still a degree of vanity associated with it.
• You can win more arguments then you might think as a writer, even though you legally have no recourse, and your script can get muddied and altered in any way possible. You can use reason, logic, and passion to argue persuasively for a case in your favor.
• For years I was doing the excruciating weightlifting of writing scripts – but then I stayed thin and someone else got all the muscles.
• I think about the audience in the sense that I serve as my own audience. I have to please myself the way, if I saw the movie in a theater, I would be pleased. Do I think about catering to an audience? No
• The worst of the action films are the ones where everything is one shout from beginning to finish. And there’s no differentiation between beats, like small or big, or quiet or expansive. It’s all just one loud shout.
• I’ll say, what makes me happy about making movies is, every once in awhile through movies we find a kind of honesty. There’s an honesty in fiction that’s as effective or even more powerful than the honesty of our lives. We can find something that’s genuinely true, like the chemistry between people or a statement that speaks to an audience.
• What strikes me as memorable about ‘Predator’ was a lot of the decisions that were made so quickly turned out to be so iconic.
• For me, the stamp that I impose on stuff comes from the fact that in the ’80s, when I was starting to write movies, I looked back to the ’70s. So the films I enjoyed as a kid were the thrillers that came out of the ’70s. Back then, you didn’t have action movies; you had adventure films or thrillers.
