“I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people w...” — Daniel Handler Quote

I kind of always think my work is unfilmable, and when I meet people who are interested in filming it, I'm always stunned.

I listen to Morricone, the famed Italian film composer, while I'm working.

I was not a particularly brave child, I think, because I had a narrative mind, because my mind automatically went to any terrible thing that could happen.

'The Long Goodbye' is one book I like to read over and over again, and it was an enormous inspiration for 'All The Wrong Questions'.

Blank paper has always inspired me.

When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it's someone you already know. You think it's someone you're yet to meet.

Why is it you always meet people when you look your worst?

When you meet someone with a vision, you have to give them a shot and an opportunity to see what they can do.

I'll meet people and tell them what I do, and their first reaction is usually, 'Oh, I love Thin Mints!' And you know, they are awfully good.

I'm really nice when I meet people.
