It takes a lot of bad writing to get to a little good writing.

A beautiful day with the buoyancy of a bird.

Of course, at their best, movies are anti-literature and, as a medium, belong not to writers, not to actors, but to directors.

I remember things the way they should have been.

I've been working, working, working, and you know, sometimes you look back at your work and you see that it just isn't any good.

I think I would have written five times as much as I've written if I didn't have this terrible sense of perfection.

Leave it to me: I'm always top banana in the shock department.
