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

Infinitely more taboos, on television.

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

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.

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

If you want to prove that God is not dead, first prove that man is alive.

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.

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

I would guess that Ray Bradbury would be equally resentful of what they did with Illustrated Man, which, you know, took a central idea thesis of his and pissed all over it - made it into one of the worst movies ever made.

I'm an affluent screenwriter and all that - I'm a known screenwriter, but I'm not in the fraternity of the very, very major people. I would say a guy like Ernie Lehman, William Goldman, and a few others are quite a cut above.

Over the long haul I'd say that most directors I've worked with have been pretty sensitive to the quality of the interpreted scenes.

There are weapons that are simply thoughts. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy.
Rod Serling
Image
Coming up with ideas is the easiest thing on earth. Putting them down is the hardest.
Rod Serling
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.'

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

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

For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all its own for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

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

I would guess that the price of the script really is secondary. The credit is much more the essence.
