More From Baron De Montesquieu

Common sense and a sense of humour are the same thing, moving at different speeds. a sense of humour is just common sense, dancing. those who lack humour are without judgment and should be trusted with nothing.
Moving Dancing Common Sense
It was not possible for us to produce the same optimism and the same kind of humour or irony. actually, it was not irony. lichtenstein is not ironic but he does have a special kind of humour. that's how i could describe it: humour and optimism. for polke and me, everything was more fragmented. but how it was broken up is hard to describe.
Art Broken Optimism
All dickens's humour couldn't save dickens, save him from his overcrowded life, its sordid and neurotic central tragedy and its premature collapse. but dickens's humour, and all such humour, has saved or at least greatly served the world.

It's all rot that they put in the war-news about the good humour of the troops, how they are arranging dances almost before they are out of the front-line. we don't act like that because we are in a good humour: we are in a good humour because otherwise we should go to pieces.

I fast every sunday. i don’t eat anything. just juices. […] it flushes out the system, cleans out the colon. i think that’s great. to really make it work, you have to do it properly. that’s the sewer valve of the system. you have to keep that clean like you clean the outside of your body. all these impurities come out of your system because you’re not clean inside. it comes out in pimples or disease or through big pores. toxins trying to get out of your system. people should try to keep themselves clean.

Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. let things be malleable. for sketch writers, remember they're called sketches for a reason. they're not called oil paintings. some of them are going to stink. you have to let them stink.

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. we've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't.

I grew up in the midst of poverty but every black kid that i knew could read and write. we have to talk about the fact that we cannot educate for critical consciousness if we have a group of people who cannot access fanon, cabral, or audre lorde because they can’t read or write. how did malcolm x radicalize his consciousness? he did it through books. if you deprive working-class and poor black people of access to reading and writing, you are making them that much farther removed from being a class that can engage in revolutionary resistance.

If i’m feeling something, i have a lot of different ways to express it, you know? i can write an article about it. i can write a screenplay about it. i can act in someone’s thing.

It's just lovely to be involved in a movie that does go back to the basics - characters and great writing.
