"Altogether, I have written twenty-four screenplays. Two were never shot. Three were rewritten by others. Two have not yet been filmed. Seventeen (including four adaptations of my own plays) were filmed as written. I think that's unusual. I certainly understand adapting novels for the screen to be a serious and fascinating craft." Harold Pinter, September 2000 |

Pinter sees his task in adapting any novel for the screen as matter of 'keeping faith' with the original work at the same time is honouring my commitments to the art of cinema. I never see it in the sense of improving the book" he says "and you don't change for change's sake, in order to assert oneself.' Time Out, November 1990 |
