Quote

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.

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

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.

Infinitely more taboos, on television.

I'm afraid that if I started to ponder who I am and what I am, I might not like what I find.

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

Image
You see. No shock. No engulfment. No tearing assunder. What you feared would come like an explosion is like a whisper. What you thought was the end is the beginning.

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

All the Dachaus must remain standing.

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 don't believe in reincarnation. That's a cop-out, I know. I don't really want to be reincarnated.

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.

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

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.

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.

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'm a Western-cultured man who subscribes to the ancient saw that men do not cry, I don't cry either. I'll go to a movie, for example, and not infrequently something triggers the urge to weep, but I don't allow myself.

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

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.'

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