More quotes by Tom Stoppard
In the theater there is often a tension, almost a contradiction, between the way real people would think and behave, and a kind of imposed dramaticness.
Tom Stoppard
Never believe in mirrors or newspapers.
Tom Stoppard
My scripts are possibly too talkative.
Tom Stoppard
I've lost all capacity for disbelief. I'm not sure that I could even rise to a little gentle scepticism.
Tom Stoppard
Every exit is an entry somewhere else.
Tom Stoppard
...reality, the name we give to the common experience.
Tom Stoppard
Writing a play is like smashing that [glass] ashtray, filming it in slow motion, and then running the film in reverse, so that the fragments of rubble appear to fly together. You start - or at least I start - with the rubble.
Tom Stoppard
I don't really have a system or set of principles. It's kind of common sense mixed up with instinct.
Tom Stoppard
Theatre is a series of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster.
Tom Stoppard
I've seldom minded other people's opinions, but the other side of that coin is that I've seldom been interested by them, um their opinions about me I mean.
Tom Stoppard
Junk journalism is the evidence of a society that has got at least one thing right, that there should be nobody with the power to dictate where responsible journalism begins.
Tom Stoppard
Between just desserts and tragic irony we are given quite a lot of scope for our particular talent. Generally speaking, things have gone about as far as they can possibly go when things have got about as bad as they reasonably get.
Tom Stoppard
My work always tried to unite the true with the beautiful but when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
Tom Stoppard
I really love being in postproduction. First of all, it's all quite self-interested: You can protect things.
Tom Stoppard
Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
Tom Stoppard
The tragedy of journalism is that these are people doing their best work.
Tom Stoppard
Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard
Give us this day our daily mask.
Tom Stoppard
I love love. I love having a lover and being one. The insularity of passion. I love it. I love the way it blurs the distinction between everyone who isn't one's lover.
Tom Stoppard
In January 1962, when I was the author of one and a half unperformed plays, I attended a student production of 'The Birthday Party' at the Victoria Rooms in Bristol. Just before it began, I realised that Harold Pinter was sitting in front of me.
