More quotes by Truman Capote

Image
All human life has its seasons and cycles, and no one's personal chaos can be permanent. Winter, after all, gives way to spring and summer, though sometimes when branches stay dark and the earth cracks with ice, one thinks they will never come, that spring, and that summer, but they do, and always.
Truman Capote
Image
There is really no practical help that one can offer: it is a matter of self-discovery, of one's own conviction, or working with one's own work your style is what seems natural to you. It is a long process of discovery, one that never ends. I am working at it, and will be as long as I live.

You can do films for the fun of it, or the thrill of it, but certain films you can't do unless there's something driving you, something you have a passion for that will pull you through.

Truman Capote

Talent, and genius as well, is like a grain of pearl sand shifting about in the creative mind. A valued tormentor.
Truman Capote
Image
Most of life is so dull it is not worth discussing, and it is dull at all ages. When we change our brand of cigarette, move to a new neighborhood, subscribe to a different newspaper, fall in and out of love, we are protesting in ways both frivolous and deep against the not to be diluted dullness of day-to-day living.

How do I look so young? Quite simple: a complete vegetable diet, 12 hours sleep a night, and lots and lots of make-up.
Truman Capote
Image
It was the most haunting room I've ever seen. Because you know what's in it? All the left­overs, all the paraphernalia that the different condemned men had had with them in the holding cells.
Truman Capote
Image
One of the most difficult things in writing a novel or anything at all is to choose the point of view from which it's going to be told.

Norman Mailer thinks William Burroughs is a genius, which I think is ludicrous beyond words. I don't think William Burroughs has an ounce of talent.

Love should be allowed. I’m all for it. Now that I’ve got a pretty good idea what it is.

I've got something inside of me, peasantlike and stubborn, and I'm in it till the end of the race.

Image
I always write the end of everything first. I always write the last chapters of my books before I write the beginning....Then I go back to the beginning. I mean, it's always nice to know where you're going is my theory.

Of course, at their best, movies are anti-literature and, as a medium, belong not to writers, not to actors, but to directors.

I also write the last paragraph or page of a story first. That way I always know what I'm working towards.
