It's one of the reasons I don't do drugs. One sniff and I'd go all the way.

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

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.

I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.

Everything is a version of something else.

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

I think a tragedy is something where the natural order of things is completely interrupted and doesn't right itself.
