“I've had some wonderful successes and some extreme disappointments in my career and my life.”

“Some literary types subscribe to the notion that being a writer like Salinger entitles a person to remain free of the standards that might apply to mere mortals.”

“The silence was part of the story I wanted to tell.”

“There have been setbacks, illnesses and other obstacles, so inevitably I've had disappointments. But once you realise that things can't always go your own way, you're on the right track to being able to handle your own life.”

“There are no disappointments, just challenges.”

“But in the next world I shan't be doing music, with all the striving and disappointments. I shall be being it.”
