Theres nothing in the world more silent than the telephone the morning after everybody pans your play. It wont ring from room service your mother wont be calling you. If the phone has not rung by 8 in the morning, youre dead. – David Mamet
In my family, in the days prior to television, we liked to while away the evenings by making ourselves miserable, solely based on our ability to speak the language viciously. – David Mamet
