David Mamet
I like Bach. I like Randy Newman.
David Mamet
Invent nothing, deny nothing, speak up, stand up, stay out of school.

David Mamet
Here is a sovereign talisman against regret: never do that which might engender it.
David Mamet

David Mamet
In practice we, in the world, must do business with each other.

David Mamet
We cannot live in peace without Law. And though law cannot be perfect, it may be just if it is written in ignorance of the identity of the claimants and applied equally to all. Then it is a possession not only of the claimants but of the society, which may now base its actions upon a reasonable assumption of the law?s treatment.
David Mamet
I was fortunate enough to have a rambling youth.
David Mamet
Make the audience wonder what's going on by putting them in the same position as the protagonist.
David Mamet
There's nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It won't ring from room service your mother won't be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning, you're dead.
David Mamet
For it is written that just as it is forbidden to partake of the forbidden, it is forbidden not to partake of the permitted.
David Mamet

David Mamet
Storytelling is like sex. We all do it naturally. Some of us are better at it than others.
