Truman Capote
If you have a single narrator, a person like an I - 'I' did this and 'I' did that - it automatically solves the most difficult problem in writing.
Truman Capote
With one exception everybody who has ever been involved with me is still a great friend of mine.
Truman Capote
Lively, too. Talky as a jaybird. With something smart to say on every subject: better than the radio.
Truman Capote
Of course, at their best, movies are anti-literature and, as a medium, belong not to writers, not to actors, but to directors.
