I lead a very conventional life.

Only the dying man can tell how much time he has left.

Sometimes an actor performs a character, but sometimes an actor just performs. With writing, I don't think it's performing a character, really, if the character you're performing is yourself. I don't see that as playing a role. It's just appearing in public.

Before I started working on a computer, writing a piece would be like making something up every day, taking the material and never quite knowing where you were going to go next with the material. With a computer it was less like painting and more like sculpture, where you start with a block of something and then start shaping it.

Grief, when it comes, is nothing like we expect it to be.

It is easy to see the beginnings of things, and harder to see the ends.

A single person is missing for you, and the whole world is empty.
