“I have no idea. People who boast about their IQ are losers.”

“Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino play losers very well. But my audience like to be in there vicariously with a winner. That isn't always popular with critics. My characters have sensitivity and vulnerabilities, but they're still winners. I don't pretend to understand losers. When I read a script about a loser I think of people in life who are losers and they seem to want it that way. It's a compulsive philosophy with them. Winners tell themselves, I'm as bright as the next person. I can do it. Nothing can stop me.”

“I prefer to be on the side of losers, the misunderstood or lonely people rather than writing about the strong and powerful.”

“Why do people who have no idea
what they are talking about
always
talking loudest?”

“The people who are slamming me have no idea about what it feels like to unjustly have a child killed in an insane war.”

“If you could make people with ten-point-higher IQs, we'd probably have fewer wars.”

“All of the other people have committed crimes, the Jews are the only ones who have boasted about committing them. They are, all of them, born with raging fanaticism in their hearts, just as the Bretons and the Germans are born with blond hair. I would not be in the least bit surprised if these people would not some day become deadly to the human race.”

“That it is statistically easier for low-IQ people to kick an addiction than it is for high-IQ people… That boring activities become, perversely, much less boring if you concentrate intently on them.”

“So many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life, I won't call them monsters because they would like that term. They would think that's a great name. I will call them from now on losers because that's what they are. They're losers. And we'll have more of them. But they're losers—just remember that.”

“People who know etiquette will not speak in an arrogant and boastful manner. They will not intentionally attack or demean others. They have enough patience to restrain themselves.”
