Save the gerund and screw the whale.
Tom Stoppard

I will take his secret to the grave, telling people I meet on the way.
Tom Stoppard

Tom Stoppard

Get me inside any boardroom and I'll get any decision I want.
Tom Stoppard
Image
...Everything has to be taken on trust truth is only that what is taken to be true. It's the currency if living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume?

A writer doesn't really have much of a function on a movie set.
Tom Stoppard
Image
Your opinions are your symptoms.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I write scenes - often quite long scenes - mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do.
Tom Stoppard
Image
I never had any frustration about writing uncredited. I always felt that the satisfaction of doing it was in the doing of it, really, and getting recognised by the small number of people that know what you did.

You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.
