Michael Arndt Quotations

Good writing is deceptive in that it hides its own artifice - it makes it seem easy.

The fluidity of thought is based on the flexibility of beliefs and the emotional boundaries surrounding them.

Line up your thoughts up for potential, take action and success will follow.

If you only know something one way, then you don't really know it.

Failure can only exist from stagnant perceptions. Everything is a process of learning and if you learn something useful, you have success.

A good story is a good story, whatever the medium.

One of my favorite films is LATE SPRING by Yasujiro Ozu. To me, it represents film as art.

My God, there are so many mediocre screenplays out there.

The best writing really does come from the deepest, most private part of you.

Working at Pixar has been like my graduate school for screenwriting.
