The biggest lie is the idea that we are entitled to a meaningful and coherent summarizing, a conclusion, of something which never concludes. In that regard, this is the lie I'm telling myself so I don't set fire to anything.
And if God were trying to reach out to us, and teach us something about the deepest nature of matter, he might use some drugged-out surfers.
Deadwood was a place created by a series of accidents. A kind of original sin.
Never believe anything you think about yourself as a writer when you're not writing.
Every man's entitled to hope.
My idea of storytelling is-I wouldn't say it's religious but I would say it's spiritual. You know, the chemist Friedrich August Kekule worked for twenty years trying to figure out the structure of the benzene ring, and he couldn't do it. And then one night he was sleeping and he had a vision of a snake swallowing its tail. So he told his students about it and they said, 'Not bad, you go to sleep and you wake up with that. ' And he said, 'Visions come to prepared spirits. ' The way Billy Wilder put it was 'The muse has to know where to find you. '
