The Room I wrote in 1957, and I was really gratified to find that it stood up. I didn't have to change a word.

I mean, if a thing works, if a thing is right, respect that, acknowledge it, respect it and hold to it.

I could be a bit of a pain in the arse. Since I've come out of my cancer, I must say I intend to be even more of a pain in the arse.

Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.

I don't give a damn what other people think. It's entirely their own business. I'm not writing for other people.

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