Quote
1
I concerned with cruelty. I'm especially attuned to the suffering and maltreatment of children. It's not autobiographical--my parents were good people and I had a normal childhood. It's simply that my memories of powerful emotions, be it fear or happiness, come from childhood. Besides niceness bores me.
2
Children inherit their parents; they are not responsible. They inherit a wealth of features-good, bad- and they must manage.
