More quotes by Truman Capote
I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's.
Truman Capote

Truman Capote
Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.
Truman Capote
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
That's not writing, that's typing
Truman Capote
Never love a wild thing...If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky.
Truman Capote
If you can't be friends with a lover, then forget it. It's not going to work.
Truman Capote
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.
Truman Capote
