Firms are a bit concerned about things like oil prices and US growth but actually the change (in firms expectations) is quite small so I think broadly theyre looking for more of the same.

I read nonfiction. There's very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy.

It's really a lovely feeling to write knowing that failure is taken off the table because if it's bad you just never show it to anyone.
Peter Morgan
Image
It might be more difficult because you haven't got a book or a prop, but for the most part I like to write unpaid... initially and my own stories.

Image
I just try and do something good. But as a writer, you're slightly out of control.

Having a phone call from Steven Spielberg was just a fantastic rite of passage. I loved it, and he was very focused, very likable, strictly business, and really sharp.

A 20-year-old is never going to give death a second thought, whereas someone in their late 50s is going to think about it... I don't know, 20 times a day.

The stuff that I have perhaps become known for that's based on fact, and English statesmen shouting at each other all the time, doesn't entirely represent who I am. I am not a politics wonk.

Sometimes you are lucky enough to get offered things and there is no rhyme or reason.
Peter Morgan
Image
You're working with other people and sometimes it doesn't work out the way you want, and sometimes you didn't realise what a mistake you've made until you see it projected.
Peter Morgan
Image
I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.
Peter Morgan
Image
I had no intention of providing any answers or solutions, because you'd only look a fool, but I did want to talk about what it's like to be in a state where you're wondering. And perhaps I was also receptive to the fact I was entering middle age and those thoughts come - to pretend that they don't come is just crazy.

I can't relax when I'm watching a biographical drama, because it's so close to what it is that I do that I just long for more fiction - so that I can switch off.

Image
You don't really work together with Clint Eastwood. I mean, he takes the script and he shoots it - and he shoots it very faithfully.

There's no way of telling why you want to do things beforehand. Something just grabs you. It might not grab you six months later, and it might not have grabbed you six months before, but at that particular moment it grabs you, so you jump on it.

To what degree are historians chroniclers of the truth and to what degree are they just novelists, frankly?

The thing that I'm most in love with is the thing that I'm writing at the moment.

I give everything my best shot and sometimes it doesn't work out and other times it works out much better than you thought.
