You can be far more challenging, articulate and intelligent writing for television than you can writing for the cinema. Peter Morgan Read Quote
For a younger generation to imagine a time where there was no security at airports – going around the world in the bar of a jumbo jet, ‘Tell the plane to wait, I’m running late!’ – there is something very Austin Powers about David Frost, a man who, in all seriousness, would approach women in a safari suit, with sideburns. Peter Morgan Read Quote
I’m not good at fantasy, no. I have been offered stuff, and I can’t get my head around it. Peter Morgan Read Quote
The irony of what I do is that the more you reveal someone in their frailties and shortcomings, the more we feel drawn to them and forgiving we feel of them. Peter Morgan Read Quote
Movies feel like work, and reading fiction feels like work, whereas reading nonfiction feels like pleasure. Peter Morgan Read Quote
