“The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.” — Tom Stoppard Quote

“The media. It sounds like a convention of spiritualists.”

“I'm not like some other writers: I have no actual urgent need or desire to add to what's written. You write it; if you're lucky, it's performed, and that's the end of the whole thing.”

“I'm hopeless at looking into myself and trying to see how things are working and why.”

“At first the English were very surprised by our disregarding the Hague Convention. But from 1916 onward they used at least as much poison as we did.”

“I thought this convention phenomenon was very flattering, but that's about the extent of it.”

“One thing I'm particularly proud of is that a convention will usually ask me back for the next year, after I've only been at the show for a day or two, because of my rapport with the fans.”
