I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.

I have the normal complement of anxieties, neuroses, psychoses and whatever else - but I'm absolutely nothing special.

I've always thought that the most extraordinary special effect you could do is to buy a child at the moment of its birth, sit it on a little chair and say, "You'll have three score years and ten," and take a photograph every minute.

Nothing ever begins. There is no first moment; no single word or place from which this or any other story springs.

Nothing is fixed. In and out the shuttle goes, fact and fiction, mind and matter, woven into patterns that may have only this in common: that hidden amongst them is a filigree which will with time become a world.

My role is to complement. It's nothing new. I've been doing this since 1968. I am very perceptive; I am a very secure person. So therefore, it's easy for me just to step back and complement.
