I don't have any system. I dictate a lot, through a machine, and I also have a secretary. But I used to type just like everybody else.

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

Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.

There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition.

How can you put out a meaningful drama when every fifteen minutes proceedings are interrupted by twelve dancing rabbits with toilet paper? No dramatic art form should be dictated and controlled by men whose training and instincts are cut of an entirely different cloth. The fact remains that these gentlemen sell consumer goods, not an art form.

Hollywood's a great place to live... if you're a grapefruit.

I choose to think of tv audience as nameless, formless, faceless people who are all like me. And anything that I write, if I like it, they'll like it.

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

Ideas are born from what is smelled, heard, seen, experienced, felt, emotionalized.

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

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

The tendency when you dictate is to overwrite, because you're not counting pages, you don't really know what the hell the page count is.
