I came down to the living room one day and my wife was standing in the living room. It wasn't an illusion. I saw her out of the corner of my eye. The moment I saw her, she vanished.

It's a natural thing for people to say, you know, Who's in this book? I find myself get ting a little defensive. People come along and I'm waiting for that first question.

I went through life like an idiot for a great deal of the time, saying there's nothing I would change. That was a very arrogant thing to say. There's a lot I would change. There are people I would have steered clear of.

A thing well done is worth doing.

My father I liked, but it was only after his death that I got to know him by writing the play.

My mother was passionate. She was stubborn, the dominant one in the family. She dominated my father.

I've always believed in survival.
