There exist only three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the soldier, the poet. To know, to kill, to create. I keep working mainly because my wife and I spend most of our time touring the country doing our own plays. The investor of today does not profit from yesterday's growth. When a system is stable, telling the worker about mistakes is only tampering. Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment. To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual. It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. Where everything is possible miracles become commonplaces, but the familiar ceases to be self-evident. In all my years of performing, no audience member has ever actually assaulted me. I consider this to be the singular triumph of my performing career. A superstition which pretends to be scientific creates a much greater confusion of thought than one which contents itself with simple popular practices. So when you make an impression in a certain kind of role, that tends to be the type of role that you get offered. It is sometimes easier to head an institute for the study of child guidance than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being. They're not poodles, they're art. It is strange to reflect how much energy is thrown away in attempting to know the unknowable. You need to write on your own and produce your own life. The drops of rain make a hole in the stone, not by violence, but by oft falling. I can choose to accelerate my disease to an alcoholic death or incurable insanity, or I can choose to live within my thoroughly human condition. I'd never been in play long enough for the flowers to die in the dressing room. The most important thing is that it's much more fun to play in a band than to be in an audience in a club. That's the main thing I think, that you can do it. In the United States, it's the mandate of the FBI to gather information relating to terrorism, go out and collect it, to do the interviews, to do the investigative work. It is not right for any country, for any president, for any prime minister to act as a prefect on the affairs of Zimbabwe. Italy have plenty of high-quality players. Newcomers need time to get adjusted to the set-up and the system of play. I'm very young, and although I think I have shown good quality in my international games, I realise that there are plenty of others competing for places. The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive. Someone had to do it. That son of a bitch killed my President. Just recently I worked with Van Morrison and I came to realize that money can't make a decent human being out of you. The more you mow us down, the more numerous we grow; the blood of Christians is seed.
