More quotes by David Hare
Thought is the wind and knowledge the sail.
David Hare
Are we simply waving farewell to the days when some of the most interesting thinking in Europe and America came to us from our fiction film-makers? BBC2, which once introduced and showed great films, now shows none.
David Hare
I'm vey bad at marshaling arguments. I can't, at a dinner party, explain why I'm a socialist and why others should be socialists as well.
David Hare
Purity is the feminine, truth the masculine of honor.
David Hare
In those days, the early 1980s, TV and film were interchangeable.
David Hare
Via Dolorosa is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and Ill never act again.
David Hare
Smiles are the language of love.
David Hare
Insofar as I'm good at directing, it's because I've become a writer.
David Hare
Obviously VIA DOLOROSA is completely artificial. It is as highly wrought as any of my plays. But basically all the artifice is to disguise itself so you don't feel it's there. You're attempting to make the artifice like a pane of glass that simply leads you through to the subject - not to decorate the bloody glass.
David Hare
No one but a fool is always right.
David Hare
Poetry is the key to the hieroglyphics of nature.
David Hare
Never take advice from anyone with no investment in the outcome.
David Hare
The most important playwright's gift is to hit your time and speak to your time.
David Hare
One of the things I find about getting older is that I seem to get louder, more voluble that I constantly have to walk around repressing my vitality.
David Hare
The future of American film lies on television.
David Hare
[David] Mamet's the writer I admire most but he's way off from when he tries to talk about what the moral appeal of liberal thought is. His heart is not in it.
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. The market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. That's what the market is. It's a bent casino. The house always wins.
David Hare
I don't see the theater as an establishment. The National Theatre has always seemed to me a people's theater. It was never meant to reinforce the values of the government of the day, nor does it, nor should it.
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 actually think love changes everything. I think it's the only thing worth having.
David Hare
