My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of my favorite writers is Chekhov. I love his attitude toward the world. Just accept things for what they are. Don't judge. Be moral as you tell your story, but have no moral at the end. Just look at it.
I love Chekhov. I could go on all day about him.
I love playing Chekhov. That's the hardest; that's why I love it most.
My favorite book is anything by Kurt Vonnegut - he's my literary hero. I got to meet him several times, which was a great thrill for me. I don't really remember what we talked about.
I played Hamlet, I played Chekhov and Ibsen and all the classics.
I really began to love to read while in high school, and my favorite authors were my heroes: J.D. Salinger, Kurt Vonnegut.
My favourite author is Leon Trotsky - the political philosophy and the way he writes is beautiful, and really relevant, too.
I'm most impressed by the Russian writers, so I love reading the works of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. Another author who has informed the way I think is the French philosopher, Blaise Pascal.
My favourite authors are Milan Kundera and Jeanette Winterson.
I loved Debussy, Stravinsky, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, anything with romantic melodies, especially the nocturnes. Nietzsche was a hero, especially with 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra.' He gets a bad rap; he's very misunderstood. He's a maker of individuals, and he was a teacher of teachers.
