- "There's nothing like seeing your words come alive onscreen as a writer. That's what you do it for. At the end of the day, the screenplay is the blueprint for something else. So to see the actors say your lines, to see the sets, to see the story come alive, and then of course to see an audience respond to that. That's what it's all about, you know, and that's what happened here, hook, line, and sinker. [...] Pirates works as a story because, you know, it's all our childhood dreams to grow up and be pirates and sail the seas and be free."
- ―Stuart Beattie
