I Was Brought Up In

Don't Forget The Earth's About Five Thousand Million Years Old, At Least. Who Can Afford To Live In The Past?

I Don't Think There's Been Any Writer Like Samuel Beckett. He's Unique. He Was A Most Charming Man And I Used To Send Him My Plays.

Watching First Nights, Though I've Seen Quite A Few By Now, Is Never Any Better. It's A Nerve-racking Experience. It's Not A Question Of Whether The Play Goes Well Or Badly. It's Not The Audience Reaction, It's My Reaction. I'm Rather Hostile Toward Audiences—i Don't Much Care For Large Bodies Of People Collected Together. Everyone Knows That Audiences Vary Enormously; It's A Mistake To Care Too Much About Them. The Thing One Should Be Concerned With Is Whether The Performance Has Expressed What One Set Out To Express In Writing The Play. It Sometimes Does.

I'll Tell You What I Really Think About Politicians. The Other Night I Watched Some Politicians On Television Talking About Vietnam. I Wanted Very Much To Burst Through The Screen With A Flame Thrower And Burn Their Eyes Out And Their Balls Off And Then Inquire From Them How They Would Assess The Action From A Political Point Of View.

I Can't Really Articulate What I Feel.
