"Splendidly mendacious. [Lat., Splendide mendax.]"

--

Horace

“One aspect of fast London life I have never understood, for example, is the custom of the gym. Why do people go to gyms?”
“Set exorbitant standards, and give your people hell when they don't live up to them. There is nothing so demoralizing as a boss who tolerates second rate work.”
“I guess I'm trying to write stuff that I, as a viewer, would connect to.”
“Well, the way I play, I try not to be a 'repeater pencil', ya dig? Originality's the thing. You can have tone and technique and a lot of other things but without originality you ain't really nowhere. Gotta be original.”
“Always hire people who are better than you. Hiring dummies is shortsighted. You can't move up the ladder until everyone is comfortable with your replacement.”
“'Orphan Black' allows for people to have debates and theories and allegiances to different characters - to trust characters and hate other characters - but it doesn't tell you who is good or bad or right or wrong. That's the most exciting storytelling, in my book.”
“It is crazy even to ask what creativity is. It would be just as useful to interview a caraway plant in your garden and ask: "How did you decided to be a spice?"”
“The military was all about hierarchies, who urinated highest on the hydrant”
