I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.

There never is any such thing as one truth to be found in dramatic art. There are many. These truths challenge each other, recoil from each other, reflect each other, ignore each other, tease each other, are blind to each other. Sometimes you feel you have the truth of a moment in your hand, then it slips through your fingers and is lost.

I believe an international criminal court is very much to be desired.
