In my peaceful moments, I yearn to write a bank heist like the one in ‘Heat.’ Peter Morgan Read Quote
I can’t help slightly falling in love with every character I write about. And I quite like writing about people who are vilified. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I insist to this day that if you read the screenplay to ‘The Queen,’ it leaves you in no doubt that we considered her an isolated, out-of-touch, cold, emotionally inaccessible, overprivileged, deluded woman, heading an institution that should immediately be dismantled in any free and fair society. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I don’t want to become too self-conscious – it’s why I never read reviews, even the good ones. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I make a point of not reading reviews because of the old adage, if you read the good ones then you have to read the bad ones, and if you read the bad ones, you have to, you know… And also because it’s a very, very bewildering and exposing thing. Peter Morgan Read Quote
Nixon had lists upon lists upon lists. They were tragic lists saying, ‘Smile more,’ or, ‘Be stronger – remember, it is your job to spiritually uplift the nation.’ This understanding of his limitations is heartbreaking. Peter Morgan Read Quote
Self-destruction is such an interesting thing for a dramatist, and what’s particular to Nixon is how human the failings were that led to his downfall. Peter Morgan Read Quote
