I believe in art that conceals art.

Art is moral passion married to entertainment. Moral passion without entertainment is propaganda, and entertainment without moral passion is television.

Hollywood called just as I crested thirty. My novels did not and still do not interest them, but my writing ability did.

I don't expect executives to be creative but I do expect them to have courage.

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.

Mother believed in enjoying herself. Aunt Mimi believed in enjoying herself, then feeling guilty about it.
