“I have no nickname, as there has never been any need for one.” — Alan Bennett Quote

“I have no nickname, as there has never been any need for one.”

“I didn't even have a clear idea of why I wanted to go to Oxford - apart from the fact I had fallen in love with the architecture. It certainly wasn't out of some great sense of academic or intellectual achievement. In many ways, my education only began after I'd left university.”

“I can't complain that I've had a public all through my writing life, but people don't quite know what I've written. People don't read you too closely. Perhaps, after I've died, they'll look at my stuff, and read it through, and find there's more in it. That may be wrong, but that's what I comfort myself with.”

“My nickname is Saffy.”

“I guess if the president of the United States gives you a nickname, you have to stick with it.”

“My stepfather's nickname for me was Squarehead.”
