I wonder if these editors, why they're not writers sometimes, because they know so much about writing.

Hollywood's always saying, "Yesterday!" and scares you to death with all that deadline and yelling and impatience stuff.

Preston Sturges, who wrote The Palm Beach Story, said screenplay writing is architecture. That's why it's so rare to read one that's any good.

It's really hard to write a screenplay, it's nauseating. All those great writers that tried to write screenplays, they couldn't do it, most of them - John Faulkner, whoever, Aldous Huxley.

Questions... I question that... and than... soona I am going to question and my existence.

Trouble brings experience and experience brings wisdom.

I wouldn't say it's a done deal yet, by any means. I think there are a lot of people who feel like their lives depend on decisions that are going to be made in this election [2016].

An interesting attribute of public banks is that they don't only de-risk the downside, but also get a share of the upside.

You puff the poets of other days, The living you deplore. Spare me the accolade: your praise Is not worth dying for.

I find that complete trust and subsequent courage galvanizing and inspiring.
