Richard Jordan's quotes

  • The cardinal sin of a play is to sacrifice emotional truth to make a philosophical point.
  • If you take it that the poet has words, the novelist a story, the painter his paints, then my material is emotions. Emotions are what I paint with.
  • Ultimately what I'd like to do is not become pretentious. I'd like to keep from living in Beverly Hills and driving a Mercedes. I want to stay in my old stone castle in Malibu with my animals and my lady.
  • It's an odd feeling, and in an odd way I've never cared if I'm accepted or rejected. I just remind myself that if I'd wanted to make money I didn't have to go into this business. I did it because as preposterous as it sounds, I wanted to be an artist.
  • (About Vaclav Havel) I admire how he's turned the outer turmoil of his life into a sense of inner peace.
