Text Quotes
I started reading Hunter S. Thompson when I was in college.  (Thompson Quotes) David Blum burned a lot of bridges. He burned people early in their careers. He took on the wrong people, though. He’s not Hunter Thompson or Tom Wolfe, he’s David Blum living in a cheap flat.  (Thompson Quotes) Titanic Thompson and Amarillo Slim would have run from a game with Marty Stanovich. Marty could really play, and he didn’t cheat.  (Thompson Quotes) February was always the cruelest month for Hunter S. Thompson. An avid NFL fan, Hunter traditionally embraced the Super Bowl in January as the high-water mark of his year.  (Thompson Quotes) I was sitting on my mom’s lap across from my father to see Kay Thompson at Ciro’s. And I always remember this energy force, this woman flying around the room and singing these harmonies so everyone went, ‘Wow!’ So I thought, ‘That’s what I want to do.’  (Thompson Quotes) My dream dinner party guests would be Ethel Kennedy, Truman Capote and Hunter S. Thompson.  (Thompson Quotes) So-called reality TV, which dominates British channels, is destroying what made it cherishable to me and lots of others in the first place. I loved Alan Clarke, Ken Loach and Alan Bleasdale’s work. In fact the first TV dramas I ever saw were ‘Screen Twos’ produced by David Thompson, who also produced a lot of Alan Clarke.  (Thompson Quotes) I loved ‘Truly Madly Deeply’ and all those 1990s romcoms because you had great actresses like Juliet Stevenson and Emma Thompson starting out.  (Thompson Quotes) I don’t have any labels for myself, really. Sometimes, when I am out with my wife, I am just Mr. Thompson. Or at my daughter’s school, I’m Gaia’s dad. I don’t think of myself as Greg Wise, actor.  (Thompson Quotes) By the time I started high school, I knew I wanted to be a writer. After graduating from Smith College in Massachusetts, I moved to New York City and worked for the advertising agency J. Walter Thompson  (Thompson Quotes) I love ‘Love Actually’ and particularly the story with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson. I think it’s possibly the best exploration of infidelity that’s ever been done because it really feels accurate and real.  (Thompson Quotes) Hunter S. Thompson and I are old friends, but what we do is so different. There are surface similarities that really have to do with us being frustrated poets.  (Thompson Quotes) I grew up poor in crappy situations... various crappy situations. What kept me sane was reading and music. I had so many different literary tastes growing up, be it fiction like Stephen King or Piers Anthony or non-fiction like reading Hunter S. Thompson essays or reading the Beats. I was a huge fan of the Beat movement.  (Thompson Quotes) I have a lot of respect and admiration for someone like Cate Blanchett, find Emma Thompson wonderful, Meryl Streep inspiring, Juliette Binoche full of light and Catherine Deneuve incredible.  (Thompson Quotes) I have, over the years brought an enormous number of plays to television starting obviously with Nicholas Nickelby and then things like Angels In America or in Wit with Emma Thompson and Mike Nichols. So, yes, I do find that very interesting and I’m sure that down the road there will be plays that I’ll want to do that way  (Thompson Quotes) I’m such a horror geek, comic geek and action figure geek. I’m inspired by so much - from Hunter S. Thompson and Quentin Tarantino to ‘The Dark Knight’ and ‘Halloween’. Just show me something that doesn’t suck, and I’m happy  (Thompson Quotes) My three favorite travel writers of all time are Robert Louis Stevenson, Graham Greene, and Chuck Thompson. Smile When You’re Lying not only tells the truth about the travel-writing racket, it gets to the heart of some of the travel industry’s best-kept secrets  (Thompson Quotes)
