Tom Stoppard

(1937–) · British Playwright

Czech-born British playwright and screenwriter.

I don't feel like a Londoner.
I don't even know what my voice is to this day.
I proudly tell people, 'I have no computer,' so as not to be ashamed of having no computer.
I don't believe there is something called 'film' and something called 'theater,' and that words belong in the theater. Some rather bad films have few words in them; some good films have a lot of words in them.
I don't want to come over as some boringly self-deprecating person. But I don't see myself as a groundbreaking writer in the way plays are structured.
The text loses its virginity simply by being staged: it's no longer the abstract ideal version; it's an event.
I'm a conservative kind of person. I don't think rightwing is quite the same thing. But I acknowledge my conservatism of temperament.
Every exit is an entry somewhere else.
It's not the voting that's democracy; it's the counting.
Well I believe in the desirability of an optimal society.
