Peter Greenaway
I do indeed think that cinema is mortal. There is a lot of evidence already that it is dying on its feet.
Peter Greenaway
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
Peter Greenaway
I am Welsh by birth, English by education, and European by nature.
Peter Greenaway
This is where I begin to do the writing. I am now going to be the pen and not the paper.
