If I had no family, my wife and I would lead a much more romantic and nomadic existence.

My wife would say I'm more Hyde than Jekyll!

I would love to have had much more money so that I could be a philanthropist.

I knew I wanted to be a writer and I knew if I had a wife and family, I would neglect something, and I was afraid it wouldn't be the writing.

I regret not having more children. I would have loved to have had a bigger family.

I think your life is governed not by the bricks or mortar around you, it's governed by who holds your hand and who spits in your eye.
