Charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

I hardly said a word to my wife until I said 'yes' to divorce.

I find that screenwriting is at best kind of a hackwork in some ways.

I've always been able to survive by writing, though.

The filmmakers always have a great level of control.

You know, I find it very strange when movies that I made that were just excoriated - I mean that I was just vilified for - are now looked at as classics.

I may not be the strongest guy or the most well armed, but you can put me in a room with a pencil and a piece of paper and I can kill anybody.
