I've never been able to feel that there is anything undignified about making your living by the sweat of your brow.
In all my life, I have never been free. I have never been able to do anything with freedom, except in the field of my writing.
Here I was into astronomy, and here into anthropology, and there I go into geology. It was much more fun to be able to research and write about whatever I wanted to.
The point of literary criticism in anthropology is not to replace research, but to find out how it is that we are persuasive.
My intention throughout has been to write, to create literature, and to be able to look people in the eye after I'd done it - the people I'd written about.
I don't have many friends. It's not because I'm a misanthrope. It's because I'm reserved. I'm self-contained. I get all my adventures in my head when I'm writing my books.
My film directorial career has been nothing but repetition of one failure after another!
I cannot recall any moment of clarity about becoming a writer. I always liked to read. That's what did it.
I just happen to like the work. I like preparing for a role. I like reading. I like analyzing. I like literature. I like emotions. I like working with other actors.
