Tina Fey: “It has been said that to write is to live forever.”
Steve Martin: “The man who said that is dead.”
Fey: “Yet, we all know the importance of writing, because every great movie begins with a great screenplay.”
Martin: “Or, a very good idea for the poster. But usually, with a screenplay.”
Fey: “And every writer starts with a blank page.”
Martin: “And every blank page was once a tree.”
Fey: “And every tree was once a tiny seed.”
Martin: “And every tiny seed on Earth was placed here by the alien king Rondelay, to foster our titrates and fuel our positive transfers!”
