I’m not a vindictive person. But I do want to shine a light on human frailty and heroism in equal measure. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I’m not being presumptuous, I hope, when I say that ‘The Crown’ is little bit like ‘The Godfather.’ It is essentially about a family in power and survival. Peter Morgan Read Quote
There are so many projects that I’ve written and had to abort because either I felt too distressed by what I was doing to the people who I was writing about, or they couldn’t cope with it because their view of themselves was so far removed from reality. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I’m not an artist, and I want to take risks, and when the possibility of failure occurs, it’s because the idea is all exciting or interesting as a high wire act, and sometimes you’ve got to fall off, just by virtue of the fact that you’re constantly trying to evolve and do new things. Peter Morgan Read Quote
Generally, I read nonfiction. There’s very little fiction that I enjoy enough to spend my time reading. I am generally a nonfiction guy. Peter Morgan Read Quote
There are people who are bound journalistically to a code of ethics that means they can’t quote something that isn’t sourced, whereas what I do is entirely unsourced. I effectively fictionalise history and yet somehow aim at a greater truth. Peter Morgan Read Quote
There were a couple of things I lost sleep over with the play ‘Frost/Nixon,’ so I went back and addressed them a bit more in the film. Peter Morgan Read Quote
Barack Obama winning the election had an instant impact on everything – race relations, national self-esteem, tolerance. It also had an instant affect on ‘Frost/Nixon.’ At a stroke, instead of being a piece that reminded people of the agony they were in, it became an uplifting message about the agony they had escaped. Peter Morgan Read Quote
There’s something about the soul of a country that is somehow connected to the head of state. Peter Morgan Read Quote
