“Few women care to be laughed at and men not at all, except for large sums of money.”

Preface to The Norman Conquests (New York: Grove Press, [1975] 1988) p. 11.

“The darker the subject, the more light you must try to shed on the matter. And vice versa.”

The Crafty Art of Playwriting (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2003) p. 3.

“A comedy is just a tragedy interrupted, I once said. Do you finish with the kiss or when she opens her eyes to tell him she loves him and sees blonde hairs on his collar?”
