Smiles are the language of love.
David Hare
The future of American film lies on television.
David Hare
My father always said 'There's no free lunch.' My father was right. There's no free lunch and there's no free market.

David Hare

David Hare
Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature.
David Hare

David Hare
No one but a fool is always right.
David Hare
Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.
David Hare
I think the novel is the American form because people read it in private, and the only valuable things that happen in America happen in private life, because public life is a dead loss.
David Hare
I fell into writing plays by accident. But the reason I write plays is that it's the only thing I'm any good at.
David Hare
In those days, the early 1980s, TV and film were interchangeable.
David Hare
In oratory the will must predominate.
David Hare
Never take advice from anyone with no investment in the outcome.
David Hare
An inability to handle language is not the same thing as stupidity.
David Hare
