Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death is not anything... death is not... It's the absence of presence, nothing more... the endless time of never coming back... a gap you can't see, and when the wind blows through it, it makes not sound.

I've never written an original piece for film; all the original things I've done are for the stage.

You can't treat royalty like people with normal perverted desires.

I was so thrilled being a reporter, because it gave you the kind of access to people that you wouldn't ever get to meet.

The fact is that people are attracted to new work and by new work.

A writer doesn't really have much of a function on a movie set.

I consider myself to be a very fortunate person and to have led a very fortunate life.
