More From Hugh Leonard

Arnold schwarzenegger has still not officially bowed out of this race. it looks like he's not gonna run. but i'll tell ya, if arnold does run, he better get on the ballot, because you don't want a write-in with a name like arnold schwarzenegger. because people will go - 'schwarz, schwarz, oh davis is easier.'

The seven white notes on the piano - each section of the piece (there are 12 sections) is five of those seven white notes. if you calculate it, there are 21 groups of five notes in any group of seven notes. and although there are 12 sections, this piece actually uses nine of those groups because some of the sections repeat earlier ones. so that's the formula. it's very simple as a way of generating something. it's my inner minimalist.

The business of mr. bennett's life was to keep his daughters alive. the business of mrs. bennett's was to get them married.

A lack of desire is something i've never experienced. i'd have to be on my deathbed before i stopped wanting-- no, never mind, i was on my deathbed in the not-too-distant past, and even then i had the devil's own itch for my wife." -sebastian, lord st. vincent

A new kind of award has been added -- the deathbed award. it is not an award of any kind. either the recipient has not acted at all, or was not nominated, or did not win the award the last few times around. it is intended to relieve the guilty conscience of the academy members and save face in front of the public. the academy has the horrible taste to have a star, choking with emotion, present this deathbed award so that there can be no doubt in anybody's mind why the award is so hurriedly given. lucky is the actor who is too sick to watch the proceedings on television.

When i was a film critic, the reason i kind of found it disenchanting was because the things that i wanted to talk about were the ideas in the movie, the theme of it, and contextual elements that weren't necessarily central to the story. but the only thing people really wanted was a plot description and how many stars i'd give it. it didn't matter how much effort you put into writing a piece, they looked at it solely as a consumer's guide toward going or not going to films.

For me the ideal date would be to drink wine in the backyard under the stars, listen to music and just talk. then we'd eat steak and, later, dessert. if all went as planned, we'd save some of the dessert and play with it while making out.

People see me as pretty low key in a lot of ways. and for me, like, even choosing to be john legend and to be who i am as a star, as an artist, it's a risk 'cause i - you know, i graduated from college and worked as a management consultant, and i could have had this very kind of buttoned-up life and worn suits to work every day.

I thought that the world was a vast system of signs, a conversation between giant beings. my actions, the cricket's saw, the star's blink, were nothing but pauses and syllables, scattered phrases from that dialogue. what word could it be, of which i was only a syllable? who speaks the word? to whom is it spoken?
