• ‟ I enjoy all forms of writing, but playwrighting is what made me what I am. Not only working with the ghosts of Chekhov and Ibsen and Shakespeare, but what it is to be a playwright, to be interacting with human beings in the live theater and affect people on such a direct, emotional level.

  - John Logan
  

• ‟ Everything about 'Hugo' to me is poignant, from the broken orphan to the old man losing his past to the fragility of film itself.

  - John Logan
  

• ‟ Personally speaking, growing up as a gay man before it was as socially acceptable as it is now, I knew what it was to feel different, to feel alienated and to feel not like everyone else. But the very same thing that made me monstrous to some people also empowered me and made me who I was.

  - John Logan
  

• ‟ Young screenwriters are always very frustrated when they talk to me. They say, 'How do we get to be a screenwriter?' I say, 'You know what you do? I'll tell you the secret, it's easy: Read 'Hamlet.' You know? Then read it again, and read it again, and read it until you understand it. Read 'King Lear,' and then read 'Othello.'

  - John Logan
  

• ‟ I'm not interested in characters who aren't broken. I'm not interested in happy people. It just doesn't draw me as a writer.

  - John Logan
  

• ‟ Theater people say you are either a comedian or a tragedian, and I'm a tragedian. And the vexing, dark characters, the ones where I don't understand their pain or their anguish, they are the characters that appeal to me.
