Occasionally it does hit me, the words on a page. And I still love doing that, as I have for the last 60 years.
Harold Pinter -
I find the whole Blairish idea more and more repugnant every day. 'New Labour': the term itself is so trashy. Kind of ersatz.

I saw Len Hutton in his prime,Another time, another time.

One is and is not in the centre of the maelstrom of it all.
Harold Pinter -
Many Americans, we know, are horrified by the posture of their government but seem to be helpless.
Harold Pinter -
Each play was, for me, 'a different kind of failure.' And that fact, I suppose, sent me on to write the next one. (15)
Harold Pinter -
You have to hand it to America. It has exercised a quite clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good.
Harold Pinter -
I could be a bit of a pain in the arse. Since I've come out of my cancer, I must say I intend to be even more of a pain in the arse.

I'm well aware that I have been described in some quarters as being 'enigmatic, taciturn, prickly, explosive and forbidding'. Well, I have my moods like anyone else; I won't deny it.
Harold Pinter -
It's a strange moment, the moment of creating characters who up to that moment have had no existence. What follows is fitful, uncertain, even hallucinatory, although sometimes it can be an unstoppable avalanche. The author's position is an odd one. In a sense he is not welcomed by his characters. They resist him, they are not easy to live with.

The Room I wrote in 1957, and I was really gratified to find that it stood up. I didn't have to change a word.

The effect of depleted uranium, used by America in the Gulf War, is never referred to.

I don't think there's been any writer like Samuel Beckett. He's unique. He was a most charming man and I used to send him my plays.
Harold Pinter -
I never think of myself as wise. I think of myself as possessing a critical intelligence which I intend to allow to operate.

I was brought up in the War. I was an adolescent in the Second World War. And I did witness in London a great deal of the Blitz.
Harold Pinter -
All I'm saying is that there are many different kinds of political theatre and many plays I greatly admire: 'Antigone,' 'Mother Courage,' 'All My Sons.' But, if I tackle a political theme, I have to do it in my own way.
Harold Pinter -
In Cuba I have always understood harsh treatment of dissenting voices as stemming from a 'siege situation' imposed upon it from outside. And I believe that to a certain extent that is true.
Harold Pinter -
The government of the US has no moral authority to elect itself as the judge over human rights in Cuba, where there has not been a single case of disappearance, torture or extra-judicial execution since 1959, and where despite the economic blockade, there are levels of health, education and culture that are internationally recognised.

One's life has many compartments.
