If in any quest for magic, in any search for sorcery, witchery, legerdemain, first check the human spirit.

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

Bias and prejudice make me angry...more than anything.

Good evening, and welcome to a private showing of three paintings, displayed here for the first time. Each is a collectors' item in its own way - not because of any special artistic quality, but because each captures on a canvas, and suspends in time and space, a frozen moment of a nightmare.

I find dictating in the mass media particularly good because you're writing for voice anyway you're writing for people to say a line and, consequently, saying a line through a machine is quite a valid test for the validity of what you're saying.

Every Superstate has one iron rule: logic is an enemy and the truth is a menace.

I think I'd rather win, for example, a Writer's Guild award than almost anything on earth. And the few nominations I've had with the guild, and the few awards I've had, represented to me a far more legitimate concrete achievement than anything.

I write much better in the nonconfines of the early morning than I do the clutter of the day.

There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.

Personally, my daughter's wedding gave me a tremendous pleasure.

Apparently on the screen I look tall, ageless, and damned close to omniscient-delivering jeopardy-laden warnings through gritted teeth. But when people see me on the street, they say 'by God, this kid is 5 foot 5, he's got a broken nose, and looks about as foreboding as a bank teller on a lunch break.'

If you write beautifully, you write beautifully, that's all.

I'm sufficiently independent to know that I can live well and comfortably all the rest of my life whether I'm rejected or not.

Somewhere between apathy and anarchy lies the thinking human being.

Our greatest responsibility is not to be pencils of the past.

Somehow, some way, incredibly enough, good writing ultimately gets recognized. If you're a really good writer and deserve that honored position, then by God, you'll write, and you'll be read.

Most screenplays, most motion pictures, owe much more to the screenplay. Ingmar Bergman has such an economy of language, so little language in his piece, it is so visual, his moods are introduced and buttressed by camera rather than by word or character. But again, that's unique.

I'd love to be able to write an in-depth piece of what causes men like [Richard] Nixon and [H.R.]Haldeman and [John] Ehrlichman and all the rest of them not only to run, but what causes us to vote for them.
