“My agent in London told me, after Never Let Me Go, because I loved doing that so much, "If you're on a lucky streak and you're doing well, you should only take a part, if you can't bear the idea of anyone else doing it." That's been the case since then, with Drive and Shame and the play (The Seagull), and the stuff that's going on, like Gatsby.

“Now, for the moment, we are safe. The only kind of international violence that worries most people in the developed countries is terrorism: from imminent heart attack to a bad case of hangnail in fifteen years flat. We are very lucky people--but we need to use the time we have been granted wisely, because total war is only sleeping. All the major states are still organized for war, and all that is needed for the world to slide back into a nuclear confrontation is a twist of the kaleidoscope that shifts international relations into a new pattern of rival alliances.” PeopleWorldNeedsYearsHeartKindHas BeensStillsWarCountryStatesMomentsUseSleepCasesWorryViolenceNeededLuckySafeMajorsRelationInternationalPatternsTerrorismNuclearGrantedOrganizedFlatsFifteenTwistsRivalsSlidesAlliancesConfrontationInternational RelationsTotal WarFifteen YearsHeart AttackKaleidoscopeDeveloped Country Author:Gwynne Dyer
“Every drama school in the country turned me down, and so I was lucky to study drama at all, even if it was lowly Birmingham University.

“If I owned any of these Hot New Issues that have doubled, tripled, quintupled or umptupled within days and in some cases hours after they were issued, I most certainly would grab my fabulous windfall, thank my lucky stars and invest the money. It's utter nonsense to think any newly issued stock is really worth two, ten or 20 times the [offering] price.... A management so stupid as to sell shares [cheap], and an underwriter so obtuse as not to discern the real value, together would provide reason enough for a sensible man to get rid of his shares.” IfsThinkingMenTwoRealReasonEnoughTogetherValuesStarsHoursCasesIssuesShareStupidLuckyTenHotManagementSellsNonsenseSensibleOfferingFabulousReal ValueLucky Star Author:Malcolm Forbes
“As a child of the 1970s, I couldn't hold a narrative in my head; I was lucky if I could hold a joke in my head, because every time you turn on television or radio, it wipes the slate clean - at least in my case. After I gave up television, I found I could carry longer and longer stories or ideas in my head and put them together until I was carrying an entire short story.

And you can sort of feel that if you step off that treadmill, it might all go horribly wrong and you might never be employed again, you know. And I suddenly thought that that's not necessarily the case.
