memories book reading
Some of the best memories of my childhood that I have are the times that I played hooky from school so I could spend my days in the public library reading all the wonderful books at my disposal.
religious book teaching
Culturally speaking, I was raised in a Jewish household. In addition to the religious side of it, I was taught respect for books and learning and the higher professions like medicine and law and teaching.
funny war book
I took a speed-reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.
funny book humor
It seemed the world was divided into good and bad people. The good ones slept better while the bad ones seemed to enjoy the waking hours much more.
new-york book bisexual
Ads answered out of desperation in the New York Review of Books proved equally futile as…the 'Bay Area Bisexual' told me I didn't quite coincide with either of her desires.
witty humorous books-and-movies
We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.

I once stole a pornographic book that was printed in braille. I used to rub the dirty parts.

almost came enjoying enjoyment experience films happens invariably rare rarely saw surprised
I like the film, and that's rare for me to say because I make films and I am almost invariably disappointed. When I saw ('Match Point'), I said, 'My God, it came out.' It surprised me. . . . So I am enjoying the experience because it happens so rarely for me.
both fool occurred occurs treated
It's something that occurs to me many times in my movies. They can often be treated comically or dramatically, and I usually opt to treat them comically. But it occurred to me that you could get a story and you could fool around with it both ways.

I'm going to give my psychoanalyst one more year, then I'm going to Lourdes
advice cast gin improvise learnt
I let the cast improvise a lot, especially with the slang, where they would say 'g and t' for gin and tonic. I wouldn't say that. I would say 'dicey' when they would say 'dodgy.' I learnt a lot.
