Every word that you can get off the page and every frame that you can take out of your movie makes it closer to the feel that you experience as its author. Words in a script are like sandbags in a hot air balloon. Every one that you can toss overboard lets your project rise faster and soar higher. It brings your best ideas closer together, makes the work tigher and more exciting. It turns wine into cognac (well, not quite).
