“My first book, Fast Forward, was about growing up in the shadow of Hollywood and how kids are affected by the culture of materialism and the cult of celebrity, and I've often felt the reason my work has an audience in the UK is because it's everything the British love to hate about the Americans.” FirstsBookReasonKidsHateCultureFeltAudienceGrowing UpGrowingShadowHollywoodBritishMaterialismAffectedCultLove Hate Author:Lauren Greenfield
“I felt strange in my own family, because I had a very liberal mind, and I would ask myself, "Why is there this discrimination between men and women?" In our culture, the man should be outside and the woman should be at home. I wanted to study, or meet my friends, and I couldn't.

“As a writer, I've always believed that while my work and I myself are embedded in whatever period I am writing about, clearly I am sensitive to the winds that are blowing in the culture. At the same time, I have always felt that the issue was not to deal with the problem in the abstract, but to deal with the people who are in that problem. The emphasis is on the people. The general problem begins to resolve itself even before the play is finished.” PeopleWritingPlayProblemCultureFeltDealsIssuesWindPeriodsFinishedSensitiveAbstractResolveEmphasisAlways BelieveEmbedded Author:Arthur Miller

We are therefore out of touch with reality.” ImportantMomentsRealityPastCultureFeltRealizingMemoriesConsciousnessIllusionExpectationsPresent MomentIllusion Of Time Author:Alan Watts
