“I am drawn to characters so full of internal contradictions. Idi Amin ...” — Peter Morgan Quote

“I am drawn to characters so full of internal contradictions. Idi Amin was one. I loved writing him.”

“I have always cited the decision by director Stephen Frears to shoot 'Mrs. Henderson Presents' before my script of 'The Queen' as the reason for my taking the plunge as a playwright.”

“For 'Frost/Nixon,' everyone I spoke to told the story their way. Even people in the room tell different versions. There's no one truth about what happened in those interviews, so I feel very relaxed about bringing my imagination to the piece. God knows everyone else has.”

“Really, life is full of contradictions. Life is messy.”

“The contradictions are what make human behavior so maddening and yet so fascinating, all at the same time.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, I take office at a time in which the world is living in extreme contradictions.”
