Theatre is how I first encountered art on any level.

I don't love you anymore. Goodbye.

Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye." Dan: Supposing you do still love them? Alice: You don't leave.

Alice: I don’t love you anymore. Goodbye. Dan: Since when? Alice: Now. Just now.

I used to go with my parents and loved it, I was in school plays, and I started reading plays before I started reading novels. I'll defend it to the hilt. When theatre is good it is fabulous.

A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.

I'm a Golden Globe nominee, yes. It's very nice. It's a very nice thing, but I kind of think of all the awards I wasn't ever nominated for, for years and things.

I'm constantly having to be vigilant with a depressive tendency, an addictive tendency.

Well, you just know, as a writer, I didn't really write one of the five best screenplays of the year. There were lots of brilliant screenplays; I was just one of the lucky ones who got nominated.

When the sky is fully covered by the birds, you will feel the winds of pure freedom beneath this sky!

I write more with the words I leave out.

I am a filmmaker. That is all I've ever been. You know, Martin Scorsese makes films about the mob. And I make movies about food.

You know, I love traveling and I love being exposed to different cultures, but really it's the people that I've met along the way, not the places I've been, that have opened my eyes.

I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.

You can manage what you do not understand; but you cannot lead it.

There are other things besides beauty with which to captivate the hearts of men. The Italians have a saying: "Fair is not fair, but that which pleaseth.

My philosophy is: If you can't have fun, there's no sense in doing it.

All models are wrong, and increasingly you can succeed without them.

As a language, Garbo's singularity was of the order of the concept, that of Audrey Hepburn is of the order of the substance; the face of Garbo is an Idea, that of Hepburn, an Event.
