Quotes
- “It would be unfair to suggest that one of the most characteristic sounds of the English Sunday is the sound of Harold Hobson barking up the wrong tree.”
- “People in a temper often say a lot of silly, terrible things they mean.”
- “Filmmaking has now reached the same stage as sex—it’s all technique and no feeling.”
- “Jokes are ideally pleasurable. They are an act of assassination without a corpse, a moment of total annihilation that paradoxically makes anything possible.”
- “A satirist, often in danger himself, has the bravery of knowing that to withhold wit's conjecture is to endanger the species.”
- “Boston is one of the few American cities that regrets the past...Boston's like England. Up to its ears in yellowing photographs.”
