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.

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.

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.

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.

Being like everybody is the same as being nobody.

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.

I ask for your indulgence when I march out quotations. This is the double syndrome of men who write for a living and men who are over forty. The young smoke pot - we inhale from our 'Bartlett's.'

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

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

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

Now death is with us in such abundance and hovers over us in so massive a form that we don't have time to invent a mythology, nor is our creativity directed toward same. Now it's to prevent death.
