I feel guilty if I'm not reading books, but I read scripts…

“I feel guilty if I'm not reading books, but I read scripts of movies or things that I know I'm committed to that I'm going to do the project. I tell myself, "I'm going to read this script like six times," and I only read it the initial time.” quote by Jim Gaffigan
