Christopher Hampton Film Quotations

There is a sort of theory that you should adapt bad books because they always make more successful films.

If you take a really good book, then the potential is for a really good film. But you've got to get it right.

There was a moment in the early '80s when I wanted to work on films and wanted to live in L.A.

I love films. If I'd known how to get into or do it from the word go, I would have done that.

I like L.A., but I think whats changed is that the kinds of films I do, the mid-range dramatic film, has become an endangered species.
