The Comedy Writer, by Peter Farrelly

“I’d been thinking about screenwriting for a while. […] I thought about it every time I saw a movie that made me feel something. Even more when I saw one that didn’t.” – pg. 9

“The beauty of long drives alone in the car is that it’s the best place to think.” – pg. 11

“I normally didn’t do writerly things in public, such as taking a pad and pen to a coffeehouse. […] It seemed pretentious and calculated and Hemingwayish.” – pg. 36

“You can’t be a major dreamer without having a healthy ego.” – pg. 62

“You see, it really doesn’t matter if your idea is good or bad because the powers that be are past the point of recognizing either.” – pg. 105

“If you write honestly, then you’re a good writer and you’ll succeed.” – pg. 152

“This much I know about creative endeavors: They’re out of your control.” – pg. 280

“Sunshine is like anything else. When you don’t have it all the time, it’s better.” – pg. 307
