More quotes by Tom Stoppard
Carnal embrace is the practice of throwing one's arms around a side of beef.
Tom Stoppard
Rosencrantz: We might as well be dead. Do you think death could possibly be a boat? Guildenstern: No, no, no... Death is...not. Death isn't. You take my meaning. Death is the ultimate negative. Not-being. You can't not-be on a boat. Rosencrantz: I've frequently not been on boats. Guildenstern: No, no, no--what you've been is not on boats.
Tom Stoppard
Theater is a recreation. It can be much more, but unless it's recreation, I don't see the point of it.
Tom Stoppard
A writer doesn't really have much of a function on a movie set.
Tom Stoppard
I really love being in postproduction. First of all, it's all quite self-interested: You can protect things.
Tom Stoppard
It would have been nice to have had unicorns.
Tom Stoppard
If you want to change something by Tuesday, theater is no good. Journalism is what does that. But, if you want to just alter the chemistry of the moral matrix, then theater has a longer half-life.
Tom Stoppard
Theatre is a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Tom Stoppard
I don't keep a diary and I throw away nearly all the paper I might have kept. I don't keep an archive. There's something worrying about my make-up that I try to leave no trace of myself apart from my plays.
Tom Stoppard
It was a different planet in 1967, the Broadway theatre. It had a little ashtray clamped to the back of every seat and the author got 10% of the gross.
Tom Stoppard
One of the nice things about the world of filmmaking is that you make friends in the business.
Tom Stoppard
Uncertainty is the normal state.
Tom Stoppard
I'm attracted to the past.
Tom Stoppard
The results of the divorce between truth and human beings can be most graphically observed in politics.
Tom Stoppard
It's not the voting that's democracy it's the counting.
Tom Stoppard
Chater: You dare to call me that. I demand satisfaction! Septimus: Mrs Chater demanded satisfaction and now you are demanding satisfaction. I cannot spend my time day and night satisfying the demands of the Chater family.
Tom Stoppard
If enough things that are untrue are said about you, no one will know what really is true.
Tom Stoppard
It is a defect of God's humor that he directs our hearts everywhere but to those who have a right to them.
Tom Stoppard
Plays...Maidens aspiring to Godheads and vice versa!
Tom Stoppard
You can't but know that if you can capture the emotions of the audience as well as their minds, the play will work better, because it's a narrative art form.
Tom Stoppard
