“I think a biography is only as interesting as the lives and times it i...” — A. Scott Berg Quote

“I think a biography is only as interesting as the lives and times it illuminates.”

“I developed a mania for Fitzgerald - by the time I'd graduated from high school I'd read everything he'd written. I started with 'The Great Gatsby' and moved on to 'Tender Is the Night,' which just swept me away. Then I read 'This Side of Paradise,' his novel about Princeton - I literally slept with that book under my pillow for two years.”

“I think it is important for readers to know that it is possible to bring intellectualism and idealism to the White House and still be political enough to advance an agenda.”

“I was excited when I first got the call, when I heard BBC Four were making a biography and they were interested in me being a part of it.”

“I think I've had 16 books that purport to be a biography of me. I've never cooperated with someone.”

“I'm not spitting in my own soup, I love having spent my life thinking about these things-but you don't have to know anything about his life, even though I've just written a biography!”
