More quotes by Tom Stoppard
If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.
Tom Stoppard
I don't act, I don't direct, I don't design.
Tom Stoppard
A foreign correspondent is someone who lives in foreign parts and corresponds, usually in the form of essays containing no new facts. Otherwise he's someone who flies around from hotel to hotel and thinks that the most interesting thing about any story is the fact that he has arrived to cover it.
Tom Stoppard
I like plays where people talk a lot. Conversation is sustained. Argument is sustained.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard
It takes character to withstand the rigours of indolence.
Tom Stoppard

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
Plays...Maidens aspiring to Godheads and vice versa!
Tom Stoppard
You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.
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
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
I've never written an original piece for film all the original things I've done are for the stage.
Tom Stoppard
Uncertainty is the normal state.
