When I split an infinitive, God damn it, I split it so it will stay split.

I am an artist and have no right buggering about with verbs and split infinitives, which is what being a writer says to me.

One of the most misleading representational techniques in our language is the use of the word 'I.'

I never made a mistake in grammar but one in my life and as soon as I done it I seen it.

Mental events, it is said, are not passive happenings but the acts of a subject.

I like to believe that if you pay close attention to the sentences as they unfold, they will draw you in rather than pushing you away.

When a thought takes one's breath away, a grammar lesson seems an impertinence.

Speech is external thought, and thought internal speech.

Acting is a form of confusion.

I don't outline; I listen to a kind of whisper inside the material.
