All my life I have been acutely aware of a contradiction in the very nature of my existence. For forty-five years I struggled to resolve this dilemma by writing plays and novels. The more I wrote, the more I realized mere words were not enough. So I found another form of expression.

The only people in this world I really trust are my fans - even if they do forget you so fast.

I had no taste for defeat - much less victory - without a fight.
