I think I would like to be in Victorian times. Small town. Bandstands. Summer. That kind of thing. Without disease.

Image
You can become much more independent, much more courageous with a bank account. And also, much more independent and self-reliant when you know you have money behind you.

I miss the comraderie of live television - the fact that you were on the set, you worked closely with the director and the cast, that I miss. But, no, I'm happy, I'm happy doing film.

Image
You can be a hunchback and a dwarf and what-all. If you write beautifully, you can write beautifully.

Writers vary tremendously. Was it Tom Wolfe who stood up or was it [Ernest] Hemingway who had to stand up? I don't know.

for civilization to survive, the human race has to remain civilized.

The Chancellor, the late Chancellor, was only partly correct, he was obsolete. But so was the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of man, that state is obsolete. A case to be filed under 'M' for mankind... in the Twilight Zone.

If you need drugs to be a good writer, you are not a good writer.

Justice can span years. Retribution is not subject to a calendar.

Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.

When I dig back through memory cells, I get one particularly distinctive feeling-and that's one of warmth, comfort and well-being. For whatever else I may have had, or lost, or will find-I've still got a hometown. This, nobody's gonna take away from me.

I don't have close relationships with agents. They're friends, but they're not confidants.

Image
Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.

Image
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.'

Image
It has forever been thus: So long as men write what they think, then all of the other freedoms - all of them - may remain intact. And it is then that writing becomes a weapon of truth, an article of faith, an act of courage.

It's part of the business of really not caring about topping myself because I really don't care what's going to happen. I think just surviving is a major thing. I'd like to write something that my peers, my colleagues, my fellow writers would find a source of respect.

I find it very difficult to live through the censorship of profanity on television.

The most important thing about the first sale is for the very first time in your life something written has value and proven value because somebody has given you money for the words that you've written, and that's terribly important, it's a tremendous boon to the ego, to your sense of self-reliance, to your feeling about your own talent.

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.
