I Know That I Am

When I Was First Exposed To The Films Of Ingmar Bergman, I Found Them Frank And Disturbing Portraits Of The World We Live In, But That Was Not Something That Displeased Me. They Were Beautiful. I Thought People Would Respond To My Plays The Way I Responded To Bergman's Films.

For Some Reason, People Find Me Funny. It's Quite Hard To Define Why A Thought Is Funny. It's Even Harder To Define Why A Person Would Be Funny. It's A Word That I Can't Define At All. But Whether I Know Quite What It Is Or Not, I Seem To Be It.

But Because We've All Been Readers, We Know What The Experience Is Like, And We Hope That What Certain Writers Have Given To Us, We Will Give To Someone.

I Grew Up In A Very Polite Family, And I Suppose My Parents Were Both Very Polite, And From The Time I Was A Young Boy, I Suspected That There Were Passions Seething Underneath And Not Being Mentioned, And That Was Something That Came To Preoccupy Me. Somehow I Had Some Drive To Write Down What People Might Really Be Thinking.

I Have More Free Time Than A Lot Of Individuals, So, Instead Of Talking, I Sometimes Write.
