To me, success is choice and opportunity.

Dullness in matters of government is a good sign, and not a bad one - in particular, dullness in parliamentary government is a test of its excellence, an indication of its success.

The kind of theater that I do is sort of 'narrative realism,' which I think in the broadest sense is legitimate to say is mainstream. I mean, in a certain sense, Suzan-Lori's plays have had mainstream levels of success. But Suzan-Lori is in some ways not a narrative realist.

I was, if you like, a successful schoolboy in that I had a degree of talent in all the required things that make you a success at school.

Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future.
