Always do things the least interesting way, the most blunt way, and you make a better movie. This is my experience.

The Israelis would like to live in peace within their borders; the Arabs would like to kill them all.

I tend to write a lot, which I think is the secret to being prolific.

You get rich through luck. You get rich through crime. You get rich through fulfilling the needs of another. You can be as greedy as you like. If you can’t do one of those three things, you ain’t going to get any money.

It's hard to write a good plot, it's very hard.

It's hard to write a good play because it's hard to structure a plot. If you can think of it off the top of your head, so can the audience.

My greatest fear is that the audience will beat me to the punch line.
