That's the most stupid expression in the world. 'I fell in love'—as if you had no choice. There's a moment, there's always a moment; I can do this, I can give in to this or I can resist it. I don't know when your moment was but I bet there was one.

Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off. But it's better if you do.

A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.

I don't want to lie. I can't tell the truth. So it's over.

I like the varying rhythm of being a writer that you have a period of being in complete isolation where it's just you and the book and your screenplay and no-one can read it.

I'm a happily married man and I think to get married you have to be optimistic.

What's so great about the truth? Try lying for a change, it's the currency of the world.
