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.

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

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

Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are.

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.

Infinitely more taboos, on television.

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.

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.

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.

Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science Fiction is the improbable made possible.

Image
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.

Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man, that state is obsolete.

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

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

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 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.

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