Some actors, I think, want to feel that they are as creative as the writer. And the answer is, frankly, they're not.

Most of the bad taste I've been accused of has been generic bad taste; it's been making fun of an idea as opposed to a person.

Creativity is not a talent. It is a way of operating.

I have a tendency sometimes to get too logical with what I'm writing, just because I want it to be kind of perfect.

I don't understand why very, very rich people want to have even more money than they've already got.

The thrill I got discovering Buster Keaton when I was growing up was so exciting. He was one of the greats.

If you want creative workers, give them enough time to play.
