“When you have a good script, you're almost in more trouble than if you have a terrible script”
— Julianne Moore
Simplified Meaning:
Having a really good script for a movie or a play can be tricky because people will have high expectations. If the script is amazing, everyone will want everything else—the acting, directing, and production—to be equally great. This pressure can make the whole process more stressful because you don't want to mess up something that starts off so well. On the other hand, if the script is bad, people expect less, and any improvements you make can be seen as a big achievement. For example, if someone gives you a delicious cake recipe, but you end up burning the cake, it feels worse than if you had a bad recipe to start with. To handle this, you have to stay focused and put extra effort into the good script to make sure every part of the production matches its quality.
