Don't think you're going to sell something to me that you're not committed to, no matter what, because I can smell it. I look for someone who believes in what they're saying. Words to think about. Nobody is immune to the pitching process. Writers pitch to executives.

Then to the head of production. And, so it goes. That's the longest. I have writers come in who are wonderful, and they go on and on for forty-five minutes. Sometimes I just cut it short because it's obvious they're rambling.
