The Coffee Break Screenwriter Quotes

“It’s been said that every character in a movie thinks the movie is about them. The first time I heard that, I thought, “Of course! Why should characters in movies or TV shows be any less self-centered than we are?” A villain doesn’t know he’s the villain — he thinks he’s the hero. He believes some good-looking guy with more screen time is simply getting in his way. A romantic interest doesn’t know she’s just “the girl” — she thinks she’s running the show.”
