I Prefer To Choose Which Traditions To

I'm Exceedingly Proud Of Being An Actor, But I Never Recommend It To Anyone.

In My World, History Comes Down To Language And Art. No One Cares Much About What Battles Were Fought, Who Won Them And Who Lost Them - Unless There Is A Painting, A Play, A Song Or A Poem That Speaks Of The Event.

In My Mind The City Of Ariel Is A Thorn In Israel's Side And A Serious Obstacle To Peace.

No Heirloom Of Humankind Captures The Past As Do Art And Language.

Must We Be Put To Shame By Much Smaller And Poorer Countries, By Ireland, France, Austria Or Sweden, Who Have Understood That A Nation's Support Of Its Arts Is A Matter Of Both National Pride And Cultural Survival?
