“I'm not fond of biographies. I don't like writing about myself.” — Wole Soyinka Quote

“I'm not fond of biographies. I don't like writing about myself.”

“For me, justice is the prime condition of humanity.”

“We cannot see”

“I don't think of my books as being biographies. I never had any interest in doing a book just to write the life of a great man. I had zero interest in that. My interest is in power. How power works.”

“Six-hundred-page biographies of German theologians aren't known to fly off the shelves.”

“In terms of preparation, if there's some historical context that's needed, I do like to read a lot. Working on Joe Kennedy for 'Boardwalk,' I read a couple of biographies on him. It's nice to have a broader context of the man outside of where the show is coming from.”
