我不是一个政治作家，但我是一个有政治意识的作家。

大多数战略的问题不在于它们是错误的，而在于它们是无关紧要的。

写作需要一颗心。没有激情，我什么都不是。

Is there any relief from some of thesepressures that I've been outlining? I think there is. I just want to turn to afew of them. Let's take meritocracy. This idea that everybody deserves to getwhere they get to, I think it's a crazy idea, completely crazy. I will support any politician of Left and Right, with any halfway-decent meritocratic idea; I am a meritocrat in that sense. But I think it's insane to believe that we will ever make a society that is genuinely meritocratic; it's an impossible dream.

不要盯着时钟，做它该做的事，继续前进。

The world is full of broken stories, waiting to be mended.

表演不是关于成为不同的人，而是在明显不同的事物中找到相似之处，然后在那里找到自己。
