[on screenplays]: It really is no good getting surgeons in, the script has to be right at the beginning; and it has taken me, I’m ashamed to say, some thirty years to find out that you mustn’t listen to anybody at lunch any more.

Success is a very tough mistress. For years, while you’re struggling, she wants nothing to do with you. Then, one day you find yourself in the room with her and even though the key is on the inside, you can’t leave. ‘You’ve made your choice’, she says, ‘I don’t care how exhausted you are – you’re going to stay here for the rest of your life making love to me’.
