I didn't use anybody's story. I used the context and the structure of the situation. People were so, so desperate to tell their story and begin to digest their experience - like turning it into a story - that after the fist few weeks I could go with a pad and pencil and take notes. People didn't seem at all bothered by that.

The whole world is a disaster waiting to happen.

I'm sorry if this all seems a little rushed and desperate. It is.

This is our world now, and those ancient people are dead.

Anything you can aquire is only another thing you'll lose.

Every woman is just a different kind of problem.

Just each of us being me, me, me first. The murderer, the victim, the witness each of us thinks our role is the lead. Probably that goes for anybody in the world.
