No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read.

There are some people who believe that home is where one hangs one's hat, but these people tend to live in closets and on little pegs.

I find reading screenplays difficult, as they're only a roadmap for what a movie might end up being.

Of course I'm trying to trick you! That's the way of the world, Baudelaires. Everyone runs around with their secrets and their schemes, trying to outwit everyone else.

...you know that a good, long session of weeping can often make you feel better, even if your circumstances have not changed one bit.

To stutter through it with you or even stop stuttering and say nothing, was so lucky and soft, better talk than mile-a-minute with anyone. After a few minutes we’d stop rattling, we’d adjust, we’d settle in, and the conversation would speed into the night.

I opened my mouth and kissed you then, the first time all night, attacked you and surrendered completely, and let’s get out of here. I’m ready, I’m finished, let’s not break up, no, no. Take me home, my boyfriend, my love.
