Whit Stillman
American Director
What I like and find liberating in dialogue comedy is that the characters, and what they say, are not me. These are fleeting thoughts and observations and not presented as truths but as something that illuminates the character and the dynamic between the characters. This kind of dialogue is thesis and antithesis - and we never get to a synthesis.

Jennifer Nettles
American Musician

Quote examples
Evan Parker
British Musician

David Novak
