“The main thing is the character's [Truman Capote's] interior and without getting too deep into it, there are lots of parallels in Phil's [Philip Seymour Hoffman's] life, which I knew and only became more evident with time. There was something about that character that he could own that nobody else could.”

“I know it's become fashionable to depict the police as sadistic Cossacks riding down innocent citizens, but I've become well enough acquainted with law-enforcement agencies across the country to know that's just not the case. Of course, a certain small percentage of policemen are irresponsible...but that doesn't justify the current unjust barrage of propaganda against a tribe of men who are hard-working, underpaid and daily risking their lives to protect us. I'm sure there are isolated instances of police brutality, but the rising crime rate and urban violence constitute a far, far more pressing problem.”

“Надбягващи се алени звезди блещукаха на кръглия таван и Грейди, напръскана от светлината им, замаяна от техния вихър, потъна в това небе-убежище; някакъв далечен глас от земята стигна до нея: чуваш ли? чу ли как казах, че си аристократка? Като насън си помисли, че гласът е на Клайд, макар че звучеше съвсем като Питър! Косата й се вееше победоносно и палеше пространството. Танцуваха, докато музиката секна, и в същия момент звездите угаснаха.”
