I write for film or, in this case, television when I haven't got a play cooking.

Theater is still a medium which attracts young writers. You'd think that it would be all over by now, with television and film. But it's not.

A play that works well and is done quite a lot - I've never done the math - but it's probably more remunerative than a movie.

I don't really have a system or set of principles. It's kind of common sense mixed up with instinct.

I've got no interest in educating or instructing people.

Hotel rooms inhabit a separate moral universe.

Left to themselves people are noble, generous, uncorrupted, they'd create a completely new kind of society if only people weren't so blind, stupid and selfish.
