I led the life of an intellectual up until a certain age. I remember Freud's 'Interpretation of Dreams' was a big favorite when I was 11. It sounded so interesting. And it really was!

I think the whole system of education would change if I were in charge and had the ability to make changes. I don't think I would keep Princeton exactly being Princeton.

But because we've all been readers, we know what the experience is like, and we hope that what certain writers have given to us, we will give to someone.

You can go to a play that is enjoyable because it's funny, and then on the next night you can go to a play that's enjoyable because it's 'disturbing.'

I don't happen to have a sense of humor personally, so I don't know what's funny about a character... This happens to be a feature of my life generally.
