“At each level you reach, you have to tear up what you have done before, which cost an enormous amount of psychological and emotional energy. That makes the process of screenwriting very, very difficult. And I don’t know any screenplay that I have ever worked on where I did not go through ten to twelve or sometimes sixteen drafts before I showed it to anybody.” - Oscar-winning screenwriter Frank Pierson 

This guy is awesome, being responsible not only for classics such as Cool Hand Luke and Dog Day Afternoon, but the unbelievably amazing “Signal 30” episode of Mad Men.
