We are increasingly recognising and accepting, respecting and celebrating, our cultural diversity. Meeting Chet was a life changing moment for me. We must remember that politics is more than a power game. The core of politics in my view is to serve our citizens, to serve our fellow human beings. Every educated person is a future enemy. I've been in enough films where the studio wanted that extra little cuteness to make it sellable. After that, I specifically started writing lyrics. I would like sweat and think and get it all together. Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor. Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge and dares to forgive an injury. Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master. At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed. Life is hard. After all, it kills you. Take the word of experience, I speak the truth: inaction is safest in danger. Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins. The aftermath of the war is what inspired us to write many of our plays. The whole reason for our writing Inherit the Wind was that we were appalled at the blacklisting. We were appalled at thought control. At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are. Don't try to explain it, just sell it. It's hard being visible, so I've made myself invisible. I'm a married man and I've got two children, and you have to do sacrifices. A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books. I wanted to be an author for as long as I can remember.
