I came to Hollywood ...

I came to Hollywood originally writing comedy and writing satire.
 Stephen Gaghan

Quotes from the same author

The average development time for a Hollywood movie is nine years. Nine years for a studio film. And a lot of what you do is abstract.
 Stephen Gaghan
When I moved to Los Angeles, I wrote spec screenplays. I was really poor, and I thought I was just gonna do this for a while to make a little money so I could write novels. I thought movies were a second-class art form. I condescended to it - I didn't know enough to know it was really gonna be hard.
 Stephen Gaghan
