David Mamet Quotes About Language

• People only speak to get something. If I say, Let me tell you a few things about myself, already your defenses go up; you go, Look, I wonder what he wants from me, because no one ever speaks except to obtain an objective.

They may use a language that seems revealing, but if so, it's just coincidence, because what they're trying to do is accomplish an objective.
